[Long term effects of splenectomy on the immune-status of Hodgkin's disease patients depending on the modality of treatment (author's transl)]. 1978

M Schaadt, and V Diehl, and J R Kalden, and N Schmidt, and E Laskewitz

In a total group of 103 Hodgkin's disease patients the immune-status of splenectomized and non-splenectomized individuals is compared in subgroups characterized by the modality of treatment (RT, CT, RCT). The mitogenic stimulation of peripheral lymphocytes showed a decreased response of splenectomized patients in each therapy group. The percentage, but not the absolute number/mm3, of peripheral T-cells was reduced after splenectomy. Splenectomized patients, who received combined radiation and chemotherapy showed significantly lower IgM-levels than non-splenectomized patients after the same treatment. EBV-VCA-titers and skin-test-reactivity were not influenced by splenectomy.

D006689 Hodgkin Disease A malignant disease characterized by progressive enlargement of the lymph nodes, spleen, and general lymphoid tissue.

D013156 Splenectomy Surgical procedure involving either partial or entire removal of the spleen. Splenectomies
D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
