Cell-mediated immunity was assessed in myocardial infarction patients with and without a history of alcohol abuse. Patients with chronic alcoholic intoxication (CAI) showed a deficiency of T cells, abnormal proportions of immunocompetent cells and impaired tissue antigen recognition resulting in autoimmune disorders. Practicability of immunocorrection in myocardial infarction patients with CAI is discussed.
