| Abstract | ||
| The present work aimed to evaluate the cellular immunological functions in TB patients among anergic tuberculous patients(AN),allergic tuberculous patients(AL),and controls (C).this was carried out on 125 tuberculous patients admitted to the TB center in Babylon Province during the period January/2003 to may /2004,and 23 apparently healthy controls. Tuberculin skin test was used to judge the immunoresponsiveness of tuberculous patients. The NBT,E-rosette ,and LIF assays were used as parameters to evaluate the cellular immunological functions. The results showed marked decreasing in these functions in AN (4%,14%,57.14%)respectively in comparison to that of AL(7%,21%,37%) and C(11%,25%,88%). Thus these parameters may aid to used as a diagnostic as well as immunologiocal tools among the tuberculous patients | ||
