The patient with chronic stress is likely to exhibit which immune response?
A) Increased leukocyte mobilization to the skin
B) Suppressed delayed-type hypersensitivity responses
C) Enhanced production of chemokines
D) Enhanced production of cytokines
B) Suppressed delayed-type hypersensitivity responses
Explanation: A) Chronic stress significantly suppresses delayed-type hypersensitivity responses and decreases leukocyte mobilization to the skin. Acute stress enhances the delayed-type hypersensitivity response and increases leukocyte mobilization. In response to immunologic challenge, acutely stressed individuals show significantly greater leukocyte infiltration and enhanced production of chemokines and cytokines.
