Age–sex distribution of various diseases with particular reference to toxoplasmic lymphadenopathy

Abstract

An account is given of some human diseases which affect one sex more than the other.An age–sex relationship has been noted among British patients with acquired toxoplasmic lymphadenopathy. This is compared with the findings of other European workers.A possible explanation is offered taking all these diseases into consideration together with some of the experimental work done in animals and some of the variations in immunological responses by man. © 1976, Cambridge University Press.
