The material is of particular importance today when placed against the background of the rapid spread of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The first section dealt with the general subject of the immunocompromised host. Here, reviewed in detail, were the epidemiological and clinical aspects of opportunistic infections in patients with defective immune responses. It is widely acknowledged that infections are a major complication of the neoplastic process. Cancer-bearing patients are more prone to certain kinds of infectious and cancer chemotherapy almost always increases susceptibility to such infections. Depending upon the basic disease process of the cancer, a specific array of infectious diseases can be predicted. Patients altered in thymus-derived lymphocyte populations or mononuclear phagocyte capabilities resulting in defects in cell mediated immunity or delayed hypersensitivity become highly susceptible to certain groups of organisms, whereas, profoundly neutr | 出版日期 | Book 1986 | 关键词 | AIDS; cancer; cell; diagnosis; diseases; immune response; immunity; immunodeficiency; immunotherapy; infectio | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4684-1259-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4684-1261-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4684-1259-8Series ISSN 0065-2598 Series E-ISSN 2214-8019 | issn_series | 0065-2598 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Science+Busines |
