Abstrakt | Alcohol use can increase host susceptibility to infections caused by bacterial and viral pathogens. Impaired host defence after alcohol exposure appears is linked to a combination of decreased inflammatory response, mediated by macrophages. altered cytokine production, and abnormal reactive oxygen intermediate generation. Decreased antigen presenting cell function appears to be a key element in the ethanol-induced decrease in cell-mediated immunity. In addition, an induction of Th2 prevail over Thl. That causes increased levels of low efficient immunoglobulines, but as a whole the immune response in alcoholics become less efficient. | |
