Impairment of helper T-cell function and lymphokineactivated killer cytotoxicity following severe head injury

1 Nov 1991

Abstract excerpt

Infection is a major complication of severe head injury, occurring in 50% to 75% of patients who survive to hospitalization. Previous investigations of immune activity following head injury have demonstrated suppression of helper T-cell activation. In this study, the in vitro production of interferon-gamma (INF-gamma), interleukin-1 (IL-1), and interleukin-2 (IL-2) was determined in 25 head-injured patients...
