Malnourished children appear to have a poor resistance to infection. In order to determine whether this is due to impaired antibody production, the isohemagglutinin titers of 14 severely malnourished children were examined. These titers were within normal limits. This seems to confirm findings of other authors that in man, unlike laboratory animals, malnutrition does not impair immune-body production.
