Abstract
Objectives: This study aims at studying the effect of adult obesity on immunologic profile and IFN- γ was not significant decreased in obese group, while concentrations of C3 & C4 were a highly significant increased (p ˂ 0.001) in obese group, phagocytic index was a highly significant decreased in obese subjects (p ˂ 0.001). Regarding the susceptibility to microbial infections the concentrations of ASO & anti-measles virus IgG in obese group were a highly significant more than controls. Conclusions: This result may provide clear evidence that obese subjects are more susceptible to microbial infections than normal subjects.
