“…The anergy found in cachectic patients dying of a variety of diseases, including cancer (32,33,58,71,96,98,162), tuberculosis (26, 66, 100, 112, 133-135, 137, 144), and AIDS (49,(163)(164)(165)(166), may be at least in part caused by changes in the host similar to those in malnutrition. In general, solid tumors and leukemias do not of themselves lead to impaired cutaneous reactivity (32,33,58,71,96,98,167,168). Hodgkin's Disease and other lymphomas may lead to profound anergy (28, 30-33, 89, 121, 167, 169, 170).…”
