Abstract

 

The levels of serum immunglobulins were measured in 30 subjects diagnosed bronchial carcinoma at Atatürk Universty chest disease's department in order to determine humoral and cellular immunity. Tüberkülin skin tests were made. As a result, regardless of the stage and type, the levels of serum immunglobulins were high. Especially negative results of tuberculin skin tests were significantly high in extensive stage carcinomas. This result indicated that there was a correlation between the stage and sellular immunity.
