IMMUNE STATUS IN PATIENTS WITH DUODENAL ULCER EMPLOYED AT A CHEMICAL PLANT

Abstract

We have performed a study of cellular and humoral immune parameters in 106 patients with duodenal ulcer working at a chemical plant, and in seventeen healthy persons. The data obtained in this study reveal variable changes in immunity dependent on previous contacts with harmful chemical products (nitrogen compounds).
