Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of patients with Indian visceral leishmaniasis (VL) suppressed the natural killer cell (NK) activity of normal human PBMC in vitro in a dose-dependent manner. Adherent monocytes, but not the non-adherent lymphocytes of VL patients suppressed NK activity through soluble mediators. The level of suppression seen in different patients was variable.
