The authors executed a prospective clinic study evaluating, whether at the admittance or after surgery, the immunity status of 30 patients with a thoracic neoplasm, admitted to Department of Thoracic Surgery, I School of Medicine, Naples. Only 21 of them, immunodepressed at the admittance, were accepted to trial and assigned respectively to A Group destined to surgery (10 patients) and to B check Group (11 patients). In the A Group the effectiveness of the immunotherapy was valued in the prophylaxis and in the postoperative septic complications' therapy. The global incidence of those complications was of 6 cases, of which 10% only in A Group and 45% in B Group. In the operated patients the septic complications had few repercussions on general status and were rapidly and totally dominated in strict correlation with an adequate immunoreconstitution.

Abstract
The authors executed a prospective clinic study evaluating, whether at the admittance or after surgery, the immunity status of 30 patients with a thoracic neoplasm, admitted to Department of Thoracic Surgery, I School of Medicine, Naples. Only 21 of them, immunodepressed at the admittance, were accepted to trial and assigned respectively to A Group destined to surgery (10 patients) and to B check Group (11 patients). In the A Group the effectiveness of the immunotherapy was valued in the prophylaxis and in the postoperative septic complications' therapy. The global incidence of those complications was of 6 cases, of which 10% only in A Group and 45% in B Group. In the operated patients the septic complications had few repercussions on general status and were rapidly and totally dominated in strict correlation with an adequate immunoreconstitution.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
