This paper contains discussion of a number of mechanisms which may explain the suppression of the cell-mediated immune response during the phase of dissemination of mycobacterial infection in mice and men. However, it is not yet possible to evaluate the relative importance of these mechanisms, or even to say which are the causes and which are the consequences of that disseminaton.
