[The immune status of young school-age children irradiated while in the womb as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station].
As many as 102 children living in the territories affected by radioactive contamination were examined. Total equivalent doses of irradiation of the thymus gland over the period of 1986-1996, the intrauterine period included, ranged from 4.24 to 25.9 mZv, those for red bone marrow varied from 4.7 to 35.5 mZv. Parameters characterizing cellular and humoral links of immunity were studied. Changes were revealed in many immunological indices, the association of which indices results in formation of activational, depressive, and undifferentiatable types of immunological disturbances with clinical manifestations of allergic and infectious syndromes of immunological deficiency.
