Abstract
Glucocorticosteroid hormones affect virtually every tissue type in the body, including tissues of host-defense systems. There is an enormous body of literature concerning specific effects of corticosteroids on host defenses. This literature review examines the affects of corticosteroids on leukocyte kinetics, phagocytic immunity, cell-mediated immunity, and humoral immunity in steroid-resistant species.Entities:
