Cellular Immunocompetence in Asymptomatic Paraproteinaemia
Acta Medica Scandinavica, 1977ABSTRACT Several sensitive parameters of cellular immunity were studied in 20 patients with asymptomatic paraproteinaemia as judged after at least 3 years of follow‐up. In vitro lymphocyte transformation by the primary immunogen haemocyanin of Helix pomatia (HPH) following immunization, by PHA, PWM and previously encountered antigens was measured, as ...

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

Malnutrition and Immunocompetence
The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1981Malnutrition is associated with an increased susceptibility to infection by altering host defense mechanisms. A number of investigators have demonstrated restoration of in vitro immunocompetence following nutritional repletion with intravenous hyperalimentation.

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

IMMUNOCOMPETENCE IN ADULT MALNUTRITION
Nutrition Reviews, 2009Cell-mediated immunity was impaired in adult subjects suffering from severe malnutrition. Serum immunoglobulin levels were not altered. The implications of reduced immunocompetence in adults are discussed.

Epidermal Immunocompetent Cells
1988The murine epidermis contains two different populations of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells; I-A-positive Langerhans cells which are critical stimulatory elements in antigen-specific T-cell activation and Thy-1-positive dendritic epidermal cells (DEC).
