[Humoral immunity following splenectomy in adults].

Humoral immunity was examined in a population of one hundred adult patients splenectomized after abdominal trauma without associated disease, and the results were compared with those observed in healthy individuals. We found, in addition to the disorders, a large increase in the seric concentration of total IgE, and increased presence of autoantibodies and circulating immunocomplexes. These alterations were not correlated with the asplenia period.

Cellular immunity in splenectomized patients.

Delayed hypersensitivity and lymphocyte subsets in a group of adult splenectomized patients after abdominal trauma without associated disease have been studied. The results were compared with those observed in healthy individuals. The results show a decreased cutaneous reaction against extracts of Streptococcus and diphtheria antigens. Moreover, an increase in the number of lymphocytes and monocytes was observed, but the T4/T8 ratio was not affected. The impaired cutaneous response against Streptococcus could be related to post-splenectomy sepsis.
