Abstract

Background: The main function of the immune system is to defense against infections and killing the tumor cells. It has been reported that smoking reduces the resistance to infections and increases the incidence of cancers. The aim of this study was to assess selected indices of immunity, in healthy cigarette smoker MEN.Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from 68 healthy MEN, including, 32 subjects smoking for more than 5 years (case group), and 36 aged-matched MEN who never used to smoke (control group). The following parameters were studied and compared in two groups: total and differential white blood cell (WBC) counts, serum concentration of immunoglobulin including: IgG, IgA, IgM and IgE, C3 and C4 complement components. Results: Decreased serum concentration of IgG, IgM and, IgA observed in smoker MEN compared to nonsmokers. Smokers had higher IgE concentration than non-smokers (522 IU/ml Vs 381 IU/ml; P<0.01). In smokers, the absolute count of circulating WBC, PMN cells and lymphocytes was significantly higher than those in nonsmokers. Conclusion: These results indicated that several significant immunological alterations were occurred in smoker MEN, compare to nonsmoker.
