[The assessment of the immune status of women exposed to the action of radiation and chemical factors].
Some results of a complex medical study of Chernobyl disaster liquidators and its contaminated catchment areas population. The immunity status of 279 women had been analyzed as compared to that of control groups of 92 women, living in similar conditions. It was found out, that long after the disaster factors' disappearance, in the women's immunity system a derangement has been noticed in the form of T-lymphocyte increased content and a suppressed functional activity of immune-competent cells, which should be born in mind at the regular medical check-ups. Long-time and low-intensive radiation usually resulted in cell and humoral immunity disorders. That in combination with chemical factors lead to a secondary immunodeficiency state development with a following pharmacological correction necessity (by cytokines).
