ABSTRACT:
Currently there is no consensus about the etiology and pathogenesis of the conditions, manifested by a persistent increase in the thymus gland. A retrospective long-controlled study conducted on the basis of computer monitoring clinical examination of children discrete ages to test hypothesis about the sensitivity of the thymus gland during embryogenesis to heliogeomagnetic fluctuations (magnetic storms). The results showed that children with a persistent increase in the thymus and in healthy children during ontogeny (embryogenesis) geomagnetic conditions significantly different. It is assumed that the low level of geomagnetic activity during the final formation of all areas of the thymus (emigration of T-lymphocytes, check their peripheral lymphoid organs and in the period of active growth of the parenchyma of the thymus) may be a risk factor for persistent hyperplasia of thymus. The data obtained do not contradict the idea that developing structures required a certain optimum level cosmophysical impact.
