Immunologic defense in bacterial and viral meningitis in children

Immunologic defense in bacterial and viral meningitis in children

J Ströder et al. Eur J Pediatr. .

Abstract

The investigation of a number of parameters of nonspecific and specific defense in 13 purulent and 18 mumps meningitides gave no indication of underlying primary immunodeficiencies. Only in the acute phase of mumps meningitis did we find a temporary suppression of cellular immune reactions measured as diminished rate of incorporation of thymidine by phytohemagglutinin-stimulated peripheral blood lymphocytes.
