This is a minireview on the organisation and activity of the human immune system with special reference to sport and--more precisely--stress by mountaineering. The activation of the immune system under physical exercise is shown and the immune depression after the sport documented. Hence the conclusion of increased susceptibility to diseases in the post activation phase--a sort of depression after alpine sport.
