title: [Evaluation of selected immunological parameters in alcohol dependence syndrome].
abstract: In 28 patients with alcohol dependence syndrome (ADS) the study of selected immunological parameters (percentage of peripheral blood lymphocytes CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD19+; lymphocyte transformation without and with phytohemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin A (Con A), pokeweed mitogen (PWM); chemiluminescence of peripheral blood granulocytes stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)) and Instytut Mérieux' skin tests (Multitest CMI) were performed. The results of immunological parameters were connected with activity of liver enzymes (aspartate aminotransferase (ASP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT). The differences of reactivity of immune system in the tested groups of patients were observed.
