title: [Immunity in children with aquired cicatricial stenoses of the larynx and cervical trachea. Communication 3. Condition of phagocyting immune system].
abstract: Macrophagal-phagocyting immunity was studied in 59 children with cicatricial acquired stenosis of the larynx and cervical trachea aged 1 year 9 months to 14 years 8 months. It was found that children with acquired cicatricial stenosis had a sharp depression of all functions of the cells of the macrophagal-phagocyting system (chemotaxis, absorptive, digestive, oxidation-reduction) as well as reduction of their number. This is, on the one hand, a defense reaction of the organism to continuous antigenic stimulation; on the other hand, this marks feasibility of progressive immunocomplex and/or autoimmune processes. The most prominent alterations were seen in patients with concurrent affection of the CNS.
