ABSTRACT
The effect of mercury on selected immunological parameters was studied in mice with experimental H. nana infection. T-lymphocytes and serum protein changes in mice treated for varying duration with mercuric chloride [HgCl2] and subsequently infected with 1000 H. nana eggs were compared with their counterpart controls an only treated and an only infected groups. Decreased values of T-lymphocytes beta and gamma globulins in the mercury-treated control group indicate suppression of immune response by mercury. The subsequent infection of HgCl2-intoxicated animals elevated the studied immunological parameters along with higher worm recoveries in comparison with infected non-intoxicated mice, but these immunological parameters remained significantly suppressed
