| Abstract: | The main parameters of humoral and cellular immunity as well as indices of nonspecific body resistance were studied in 70 patients with iron deficiency anemia. A decrease in the content of the main classes of immunoglobulins and an increase in the CIC level were noted. Routine therapy brought about a tendency toward the restoration of indices of humoral immunity. With respect to cellular immunity, a relative increase in the level of B-lymphocytes and a decrease in the number of 0-lymphocytes were observed. A relative and absolute decrease in the level of T-helpers was revealed. Certain correlation between some clinical and immunological indices was observed. |
