“…A significant (38) and profound T cell immunodeficiency (39), the recent evidence that zinc deficiencies may account for the cell-mediated immunodeficiencies in protein/calorie malnutrition syndromes of man seems attractive (40). The present findings would be consistent with this view.…”

“…The absolute numbers of circulating T cells are reduced, and the rela tive number of suppressor cells seem to be increased [1]. Various hypotheses have attributed the damage of the T cell function to vitamin D and B6 deficiency [2,3], low ered blood zinc level [4], and the presence of 'middle molecules' [5]. This depressed immunity is believed to be responsible for an increased incidence of infections and malignancies in CRF [6,7], For example, the inci dence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is high among dialysis patients [8,9].…”

“…poor wound healing, and reduced cellular immunitythat have been ascribed to zinc deficiency [3][4][5][6][7], Profound zinc depletion occurs most commonly in association with chronic inflammatory bowel disease, prolonged parenteral nutrition, hepatic cirrhosis, and protein-caloric malnutrition [4. 6.…”
