Lymphocyte subpopulations in adult coeliac disease.
Rosetting techniques were used to estimate T and B cell subpopulations in the peripheral blood in patients with treated and untreated adult coeliac disease and in control subjects. In patients with untreated coeliac disease, T cell numbers were significantly lower than in controls or treated patients, although there was no difference in total lymphocyte counts. There was no significant differen...

1. As a defect of suppressor function has been hypothesized in the pathogenesis of coeliac disease, we measured, by monoclonal antibodies, the inducer/suppressor T-cell ratio in adult coeliac disease. 2. No statistical difference was observed between coeliac patients and healthy controls, irrespective of treatment and HLA status. 3. These results do not show an imbalance in the inducer/suppress...

A clinical, biochemical, and pathological study is recorded of 50 patients in whom a diagnosis of idiopathic steatorrhea had been made and who had ;flat' jejunal biopsies. It is suggested that there is an underlying constitutional defect, not yet clearly defined, and that possibly secondary intestinal infection allows the intestinal mucosa to become sensitized to substances in the diet. Of thes...
متن کاملALTERATION OF T-LYMPHOCYTE SUBPOPULATIONS IN SUBACUTE AND CHRONIC BRUCELLOSIS
Human brucellosis is a major health problem in developing countries. A number of patients with human brucellosis do not recover from the acute stage of the disease and pass into the chronic form. Since the pathophysiology of this change is not well understood, we studied the T-cell subsets during the acute, subacute and chronic forms of human brucellosis. In this study we found alterations...
