[Immunomodulating role of endogenous thyroid hormones in mycobacterioses]
Abstract
Radionuclide tracing in peripheral blood of patients with mycobacterial infections varying in activity (lepromatous lepra, n = 98; pulmonary tuberculosis, n = 51) provided information on lymphocyte proliferative response to PHA, tuberculin, sensitin from lepra mycobacteria, on thyroid hormones concentrations. Endogenic thyroid hormones are shown to have immunomodulating properties closely related to the disease activity.
