Upper respiratory illnesses in athletes: Are mucosal immunity and cytokine responses key risk factors?
(Erkrankungen der obere Atemweg bei Sportlern: Sind mukosale Immunität und Zytokinreaktionen entscheidende Risikofaktoren?)
Infection incidence among athletes is highest during periods of intensified training and competition and after strenuous long-distance events. Which aspects of depressed immune function are responsible for this increased infection risk are not
known, but our hypothesis is that lower salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) secretion and a higher antiinflammatory cytokine response to antigen exposure are key determinants of infection risk.
