Abstract
⺠E-NTPDase and E-ADA activities are decreased in lymphocytes of IFCD patients. ⺠These enzymatic alterations modulate immune and inflammatory responses in IFCD patients. ⺠It suggests purinergic system ecto-enzymes control morbidity during chronic disease. ⺠Extracellular ATP and adenosine concentrations are involved in Th2 response induction. ⺠Enzymatic modulation in lymphocytes controls clinical progress of Chagas' disease.
