Association of psychosis, affective disorders and diseases affecting the immune system.

CONCLUSIONS: There may be differences between the F20-29 and F30-39 groups and their family members regarding risk for diseases affecting the immune system. This is in line with different activity of the immune system measured in blood for the disorders and may add information regarding etiology and pathology of these psychiatric diseases. Further studies including a greater number of subjects, as well as confirmation of the immunological diseases through blood samples are needed. PMID: 29141491 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
