Immunological reactivity and factors of nonspecific body defense were
studied in 35 patients with advanced chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). P
rior to cytostatic therapy, CML patients have secondary combined immun
odeficiency manifesting by inhibition of T-system immunity and phagocy
tic neutrophil activity. Repeated courses of myelosan chemotherapy agg
ravate the above immune defects. The adjuvant immunomodulator tactivin
corrects cellular immunity and reduces the occurrence of infectious c
omplications 1.77-fold.
