Defects in cell-mediated immunity. 1986

F S Rosen

Defects in cell-mediated immunity result in remarkable susceptibility to opportunistic infection in contrast to the recurrent pyogenic infections observed in children with defects in antibody-mediated immunity. The major congenital defects in T lymphocytes are presented.
