INTERDEPENDENCE OF IMMUNITY COMPONENTS IN IRON-DEFICIENCY

As exemplified by iron deficiency anemia, the study was made of effect of iron deficiency on interdependence of immunity parameters. It is n oted that patients with definite forms of the anemia showed less numer ous correlations than in controls. The emergence of complications incr eased the number of persistent correlation pleiads compared to control s. Moreover, correlation and variance analyses suggested a correlation between immunity and iron deficiency parameters.
