title: [Some indices of cellular and humoral immunity in infants with acute purulent otitis media].
abstract: The examination of 32 infants with acute otitis media purulenta identified shifts in immunological indices: T-cell immunity appeared 1.5-times weaker (up to 31.5 +/- 2.6%) than in healthy controls, synthesis of serum immunoglobulins intensified (IgA, IgM and IgG levels rose to 161 +/- 18 mg%, 124 +/- 11 mg% and 963 +/- 47 mg%, respectively). Thus, infants with acute otitis media purulenta need not only conventional therapeutic measures but also correction of disturbed cellular and humoral immunity.
