Resumo
Investigamos a imunidade humoral e celular em 18 pacientes com sindrome de West, 12 com sindrome de Lennox-Gastaut e 19 controles. Os exames realizados foram os seguintes: percentagem de linfócitos Ô e  no sangue periférico, niveis séricos de IgG, IgA e IgM, sensibilização cutânea com o DNCB, PHA intra dérmica, teste de inibição de migração de leucócitos e transformação blástica de linfócitos em presença de PHA. Detectamos deficiência de imunidade celular em 28 crianças, (18 com sindrome de West e 10 com sindrome de Lennox-Gastaut) e baixos níveis de imunoglobulinas em apenas 6. A depressão imunitária mostrou-se mais intensa nas crianças que apresentam sindrome de West.
Cell-mediated and humoral immunity were investigated in 18 patients with West syndrome, 12 with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and 19 healthy controls. The study included determination of Ô and  peripheral blood lymphocytes, serum levels of IgG, IgA and IgM, skin sensibilization with DNCB, intracutaneous PHA, leucocyte migration inhibition test and lymphocyte blastic transformation in the presence of PHA. Cell-mediated deficiency was detected in 28 children whereas low levels of immunoglobulins were observed only in 6 children. Immunological disturbances were more prominent in children with West syndrome.
