Abstract

Infection with a variety of viruses results in the suppression of the host's immune system. Several mechanisms thought to be responsible for this effect are discussed: infection and alteration of lymphocytes and macrophages, production of soluble suppressor factors, and the induction of suppressor cells. The clinical significance of virus-induced immunosuppression is also discussed.
