title: [Alteration of the immune function in children with obstruction sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the alteration of the immune function in children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome.
  
  
  METHODS
  The changes of the IgG, IgA, IgM, CD3, CD4 and CD8 levels in serum were observed and analyzed pre and post adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Post-operatively, the level of IgG, IgA, IgM, and the CD3, CD4 and CD8 in serum showed no evident alteration.
