The specific cellular host defence in patients with chronic post-traumatic bone infection was analyzed in a prospective study. The study included 120 patients with chronic post-traumatic osteomyelitis and 60 healthy volunteers. The number of CD-5, CD-4, CD-8, natural killer cells and the CD-4/CD-8 ratio were significantly decreased. The immunodeficiency seems to be trauma-induced and reinflammation seems to be due to other immunodeficient factors. The potential key role of a defect in cytokines is discussed.

D007108 Immune Tolerance The specific failure of a normally responsive individual to make an immune response to a known antigen. It results from previous contact with the antigen by an immunologically immature individual (fetus or neonate) or by an adult exposed to extreme high-dose or low-dose antigen, or by exposure to radiation, antimetabolites, antilymphocytic serum, etc. Immunosuppression (Physiology),Immunosuppressions (Physiology),Tolerance, Immune
