ABSTRACT
Immunosenescence is a complex process involving multiple changes in lymphocyte subsets. In the elderly, these changes contribute to an increased incidence and severity of infectious diseases and some types of cancer. This paper reviews some of the immunological changes in the elderly and their association with certain diseases.
