The immune status was examined in 126 patients with malabsorption. Of these, 100 subjects suffered from chronic enteritis of varying severity. Twenty-six patients developed malabsorption after extensive resection of the small intestine. Lymphocyte proliferation and migration of peripheral blood leukocytes exposed to PHA served as immunologic criteria. The secondary immunodeficient status ascertained by the authors correlated with the disease severity and stage. The diets differing in the protein quota (100, 130, 160 g) were applied as the basic therapeutic factor. The best effect was attained with the diet containing 130 g protein which makes it possible to use it for immunocorrection in secondary immunodeficient states of varying etiology.

AE rosette test (Wybran and Fudenberg) detects T lymphocyte subpopulation and correlates with cellular immunity. In this study we found decreased percentage of active T lymphocytes mainly in peripheral blood of newborns, in children with frequent infections and with malabsorption syndrome. We tried to correlate AE and E rosette tests with PHA lymphocyte reactivity in vitro in 231 patients. We found that decreased PHA lymphocytes reactivity better correlates with decreased percentage of active T lymphocytes than with total number of T lymphocytes. Active rosette test (AE) can be usefull in evaluation of cellular immunity in children.
