The recently acquired knowledge of the importance of cell-mediated immunity in many illnesses and the discovery of a variety of substances that can restore certain cell-mediated immune functions has served to focus the attention of physicians on this area of immunity. It is important for practicing physicians to have a clear understanding of current knowledge of the role of cell-mediated immunity in resistance to infection and how this arm of the immune system relates to the diagnosis and therapy of infectious diseases.

最近获得的关于细胞介导免疫在许多疾病中的重要性的知识，以及发现的多种能够恢复某些细胞介导免疫功能的物质，使得医生们将注意力集中在了这一免疫领域。对于执业医生来说，清楚了解细胞介导免疫在抗感染中的作用的当前知识，以及免疫系统的这一分支与传染病的诊断和治疗之间的关系，是很重要的。
