In medically stable andunstable patient groups, correlations betweendifferent level variables (Pearsoncorrelations) showed psychoimmunologicalrelationships which were apparentlymore clear in patients who will suffer aslower disease progression. These patientscan be distinguished from the others withstatistical significance, by levels of anxiety,depression, obsession/compulsion andsleep disturbance, as well as by the immunecell activation marker, CD25. Multipleregression analysis, using immunevariables as dependent ones, confirms theimportance of dimensions such as hostility,anxiety and stressors in determiningimmune variability.In conclusion, we have found suggestiveevidence relating the psychologicalfactors and the immune response in HIVInfection. 2002 artículo científico 0874-4696 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28740113 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=287 Revista Portuguesa de Psicossomática application/pdf Sociedade Portuguesa de Psicossomática Revista Portuguesa de Psicossomática (Portugal) Num.1 Vol.4 |
