The Immunocompromised Patient
1987
The number of immunocompromised persons—as well as the importance of family physicians understanding their state—is increasing.

This article gives an overview of certain aspects of normal host immunity, etiology and mechanisms in immunocompromisation, and outlines techniques for recognition and management of this special group of patients.
