The immune system is composed of sophisticated and multifaceted networks of chemicals, proteins, cells, tissues and organs. The innate immunity involves leukocytes with two types; granulocytes (which include neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils) and agranulocytes (which include monocytes and macrophages); whereas the acquired immunity involves lymphocytes with two types; T-cells (mediate cellular immune responses) and B-cells (mediate humoral immune responses). The aim of current study was to evaluate the profile of immune responses in children with respiratory tract infections.
The blood samples from patient children presented with viral chest infection have been collected through the period from January/2018 to April/2018 for the study of several important immune cells which resist this disease type..
The study results were explaining the significant correlations that were found between some of these immune cells in these patients. Significant elevations were presented between lymphocytes in patients children groups and healthy persons groups; whereas no significant increases in the number of other immune cells when compared with same cells types in the study groups.
