Lymphocytes from 10 marasmic and underweight infants with prolonged diarrhoea responded normally to phytohaemagglutinin stimulation. There was no gross deficiency in the total number of lymphocytes, serum immunoglobulins, or serum C3. Defective cellular immunity does not appear to play a major role in the pathogenesis of diarrhoea in these children.
10名患有长期腹泻的消瘦及体重不足婴儿的淋巴细胞对植物血凝素刺激反应正常。淋巴细胞总数、血清免疫球蛋白或血清C3均无明显缺乏。细胞免疫缺陷似乎在这些儿童腹泻的发病机制中不起主要作用。
