Abstract
The clinical effectiveness of cyclophosphamide has been evaluated in a group of 19 Alzheimer's patients with a diagnosed immunological defec t of the cellular type. In 15 patients (ie. 79% of the cases), an impr ovement has been noted in their mental and neurological state correlat ed with improved immunological parameters and better results on psycho metric scales.
