The Immunological Reactivity of Organism Under the Opiomania |Biomedgrid

In connection with the general trend of changes in reactivity in many exogenous and endogenous diseases, nowadays more attention is paid to changes in immunological reactivity in drug addiction. The feasibility of assessing the state of immune mechanisms is determined by the need to predict their course and outcome [1,2]. A few researchers have found that patients with opium addiction have functional insufficiency of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and T-lymphocytes, a decrease in the percentage of T- and B-lymphocytes, macrophages in the blood; decreased natural killer cell activity and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity; autoimmune disorders are noted [2-4].
