Three-hundred and nine subjects were analyzed based on the result from materials and methods. The result

I. Based on the laboratory profiles, immunological status of the post flood victim were affected after the flood.
Comparing to normal population, there were significant difference tor CD4% (p=0.015), CD8% (0.015) and
CD4:CD8 ratio (p=0.012).
II. Levels of lmmunoglobulin in female was higher as compared to control lgG (gll). p=0.000 and lgM (g/L). p=0.032.
However no significant different shown in male immunoglobulin.
