bronchitis. Staphylococcus was found during bacteriological
examination of sputum. From the age of 10 months, when he
stopped taking mother's milk, the child has been often suffering
from pharyngitis, otitis, bronchitis, pneumonia. The content of
blood B-lymphocytes and immunoglobulins is decreased, the
number of T-lymphocytes is normal.
Questions:
1. What typical pathological process (TPP) is developed in the
child? Give its definition.
2. Name the kind of this TPP by origin and by severity
3. What kind of immunity is impaired in the child? Why is the
content of blood immunoglobulins reduced?
