- Abstract:
- The influence of moderate malnutrition on the cellular immunity was studied in 59 operated infants and children aged 1 day to 14 years. Except during the neonatal period the number of blood T-cells preoperatively and the degree of the postoperative T-cell suppression did not show a significant difference between children suffering from moderate malnutrition (weight for age less than or equal to 10 percent, less than or equal to 90% of the normal median weight) and the control group. However some datas indicate that even borderline malnutrition impairs the cellular immune-status.
