title: [Immunological status of patients with juvenile angiofibroma of the skull base].
abstract: Immunological status was studied in 20 patients with juvenile angiofibroma of the base of the skull (JABS). An imbalance in the immune system was found, especially in cellular immunity (low number of T-helper and high level of T-suppressor lymphocytes, subnormal index of their proportion). The number of activated T-cells decreased, while that of NK-cells increased. JABS patients have an elevated level of serum IgA.
