Internet has been one of the technologies that caused a tremendous information revolution. Therefore, higher education institutions and universities in particular had to bring up a generation that coexists with this technology, uses it, integrates it in university curricula and makes education based on this technology. Entering the world of knowledge through the internet achieves additional educational aims necessary for the ...

Their ages ranged between 6 months and 12 years. Thirty-three were males and 14 females. Spontaneous rosette (E1-RFC), total rosette (E2-RFC), enumeration of T lymphocyte subsets using monoclonal antibodies (OKT3, OKT4, and OKT8), migration inhibition factor (MIF) assay and in vivo delayed hypersensitivity skin reactions were tested. Lower mean T cell population was present in thalassemia major but not the trait. The helper/suppressor ratio was decreased in patients with evidence of hypersplenism. Patients who had suffered from pneumonia or hepatitis manifested lower mean T cell count, depletion of helper cells and decreased helper/suppressor ratio. They also showed depressed delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity and MIF activity. Study of the cell-mediated immunity in patients with thalassemia might be useful to detect those who could be-more susceptible to infections.
