ABSTRACT:
A method for stimulating the immune system by treating an individual who has been immunocompromised as a result of severe trauma, including closed head injury and infection, with human growth hormone. This treatment leads to an increase in total lymphocyte number, and in an increase in the T4/T8 ratio. The treatment represents an effective therapy for maintaining or stimulating the immunocompetence of an individual who has been immunocompromised.
