RESUMEN

Los campos electromagnéticos (CEM) se han asociado con efectos para la salud. Existen datos que relacionan la exposición a CEM con incidencia de cáncer, sin embargo hay controversia entre los estudios epidemiológicos y aquellos de laboratorio. Por otra parte, investigaciones recientes muestran el efecto de CEM sobre el sistema inmune, con resultados variables. En el presente trabajo se evaluó el efecto de CEM de 60 Hz de frecuencia, a una exposición aguda (72 h), con una intensidad de 1.0 mT sobre la proliferación de linfocitos de timo, la producción de óxido nítrico y fagocitosis de Candida albicans por macrófagos peritoneales murinos, así como también el efecto sobre la proliferación de células de linfoma murino L5178Y-R expuestas 8 h diarias por un período de 6 días. Se observó que la exposición a CEM no alteró las funciones ex vivo de los linfocitos y macrófagos, y no afectó la proliferación de células tumorales in vitro.
