Abstract
The interaction between antimicrobial agents and the human immune system is still poorly understood. However, many in vitro effects of antibiotics have been reported in experimental systems (7,15). Some antibiotics have been shown to decrease some immunological parameters such as neutrophil functions (8), lymphocyte responsiveness to polyclonal mitogens (2,3,14), or natural killer cell activity (9).
