[The immunomodulating action of ultrasound and sinusoidal modulated currents].

Leukocytes of normal donors and rheumatoid arthritis patients were exposed to low-intensity ultrasound or sinusoidal modulated currents. Depending on the initial values, expression of the receptors to sheep erythrocytes on T cells was either inhibited or enhanced. Similar effect was obtained upon a single local exposure to the above factors of the joints affected by rheumatoid arthritis. Lymphocytes from patients with chronic lymphoid leukemia differ from those of the donors by response to ultrasound.
