Abnormalities in lymphocyte proliferation in classical and atypical measles infection

摘要: Abstract Impaired in vitro lymphocyte responses to PHA stimulation have been observed seven patients with acute classical measles infection, and three atypical measles. The impairment is evident only at suboptimal concentrations of disappears convalescence. Spontaneous DNA synthesis peripheral leukocytes was elevated both types patients, but the demonstrated a delayed return normal values as compared group. We failed demonstrate serum inhibitory factor an explanation for impaired lymphocytes these patients.
