Pediatrics, 2004
Developed nations are experiencing a marked increase in prevalence of the familial allergic diseases including asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and allergic gastroenteropathy, which are often called atopic diseases. No satisfactory explanation for this epidemic is known, but it has been proposed that some facets of modern life tend to bias

MILIARY COCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS IN THE IMMUNOCOMPETENT
Critical Care Medicine, 1998Miliary coccidioidomycosis indicates hematogenous or lymphatic spread of Coccidioides immitis and is characterized by the development of multiple small granulomas throughout the lungs and other organs. Previous reports have suggested that this disorder occurs almost exclusively in immunocompromised patients, with most patients succumbing to progressive

Immunocompetent for immunotherapy? A study of the immunocompetence of cervical cancer patients
International Journal of Gynecological Cancer, 1995Sixty-five patients with cervical carcinoma and 17 control subjects were studied to determine immunocompetence as a prerequisite for immunotherapy using live virus vectors. T-cell immunity, measured by surface phenotype and proliferative assays, was reduced with increasing volume of invasive disease, and independent of treatment effects.

Mastoiditis in an Immunocompetent Adult
Southern Medical Journal, 2005A 20-year-old white male presented to the family practice department with a 1-month history of right ear pain and loss of hearing. During the month, he had been seen in emergency rooms twice and also by his dentist. He had been treated with pain medications, tooth extraction, and finally, antibiotics.

Specific Inhibition of Immunocompetence
Nature, 1969IN intact animals there is a period of depressed direct haemolytic plaque-forming cell (DPFC) response, below that of the primary response, in primed animals challenged 1 to 9 weeks after the initial immunization1. This depressed DPFC response, during a period when the total haemagglutinin levels are maximum, is difficult to interpret in terms of ...

The cryopreservation of immunocompetent cells
Cryobiology, 1973Lymphoid cells sensitized against tumor cells in vivo were removed from sheep and mice, frozen and thawed, and then assayed for retention of cytotoxic function. Sheep lymphocytes efferent from immunized nodes have been shown previously to be cytotoxic owing to the production of antibody and these cells retained approximately 50% of their activity after

Immunocompetency in anorexia nervosa
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1982Twenty-two consecutively admitted patients diagnosed for anorexia nervosa were evaluated for cellular immune functioning by means of an anergy panel to test delayed hypersensitivity. The panel included candida, streptokinase-streptodornase, and mumps antigen administered by a standard protocol.

NUTRITION, INFECTION, AND IMMUNOCOMPETENCE
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1994The nutritional status of an individual has a profound effect on both host susceptibility to specific infectious diseases and on their outcome. Available data suggest that specific and aggregate nutritional deficiencies can alter a host's immune response and increase susceptibility to infection. From a nutritional point of view, the process of nutrient
