Assessment of indicators of humoral immunity in cadets of a military institute during the period of adaptation to training

When adapting to training conditions, cadets had serum IgA, IgM within the reference limits; IgG exceeded them in the pre - epidemic period and at the peak of morbidity in the class «Diseases of the respiratory system.» So, at the beginning of the training period, a fourth of the cadets had IgA increased or within the norm’s upper limit. An increase in IgA production to the peak of morbidity indicated the activation of humoral immunity. The amount of IgM after two months of adaptation increased by 1.8 times. An increase was found in 76.7% of the examined. At the beginning of the observation, the 75 quartiles of the IgG border were within the upper limit of the norm. In the pre - epidemic period, the median was slightly lower, at the peak of the incidence - outside the normal range. The boundaries of the 75 quartiles during these periods reached 19.92-22.51, while the average limit was 16.5. The immune response in the form of an immediate increase in IgM, then IgG confirmed the presence of target cells (introduction of the pathogen) in the body in the first months of adaptation. This necessitates an early increase in the resistance of the cadets’ organism.
