Immunologic derangement in XXXX --abnormal contact sensitization to @entity3304 .

@entity1 @entity704 @entity5 @entity3304 @entity665 @entity1503 @entity1555 @entity56 @entity3918
A broad spectrum of immunologic parameters was investigated in 13 cases of @entity3918 ( @entity3918 ), including those for cellular immunity which has attracted little attention in the past. One was a 46-year-old @entity1 having both @entity3918 and a @entity704 . This association between @entity3918 and @entity704 is probably coincidental without biologic significance. There was no evidence of @entity5 in the remaining 12 @entity1 . The delayed cutaneous @entity56 to @entity3304 was anergic in 3 @entity1 and showed impaired positive reactivity in 3 @entity1 , as compared with no failure of response in normal adults or @entity1 with @entity1555 . A high proportion of @entity1 with @entity3918 displayed positive tuberculin reactions, as did controls. Our case of @entity3918 with a @entity704 showed marked @entity1503 , but the number of lymphocytes in peripheral blood in the remaining 12 @entity1 was normal. Uptake of @entity665 by lymphocytes in the presence of phytohemagglutinin was normal. Serum gammaglobulin was reduced in 4 @entity1 with @entity3918 . The mean value of serum immunoglobulin level was decreased only in the class of IgG. A wider derangement of immunologic function may occur in @entity3918 than was previously recognized.
