Linear scleroderma with partial anonychia

چکیده
Morphine inhibits the expression of antigenic markers for T-helper cells and also the respiratory burst of these cells.[6] This drug suppresses antibody production in response to the T cell-dependent antigens.[6] It also leads to elevated plasma levels of corticotropinreleasing hormone (CRH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and glucocorticoids.[6] Therefore, through suppression of the immune system, morphine increases the susceptibility to various types of opportunistic infections.[6]
