[Changes in immune status indicators in patients with supratentorial meningiomas].
The immune status was investigated in 38 patients with STM before and after surgery. Phasic changes were found: T-lymphopenia and elevated level of antibrain antibodies--before the operation, laboratory equivalents of immunodeficient state--on day 3-5, and signs of autoimmune cerebral damage--on day 15-18 after the operation. Preoperative neurosensibilization potentiated brain edema and complicated the course of postoperative period in patients with supratentorial meningiomas.
