Lymphocyte Subpopulations in Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients
Protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis is based on cell-mediated immunity, most importantly involving CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell subsets. The aim of this study was to evaluate CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell profiles and CD19(+) and CD3(+)CD(16 + 56)(+) populations in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, B-lymphocytes, and natural killer (NK) cells were evaluated in 75...
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...
متن کاملLymphocyte subpopulations in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Using monoclonal antibodies, peripheral blood helper/inducer (OKT4) and cytotoxic/suppressor (OKT8) lymphocytes were measured in 14 normal controls, 36 patients with multiple sclerosis at different stages of the disease and 15 patients with isolated optic neuritis. Thirty-four of these individuals were studied on two or more occasions at intervals up to 340 days. Patients with multiple sclerosi...
متن کاملT-Lymphocyte subpopulations in hemophiliac patients.
Laboratory data are presented on 15 patients with hemophilia A. Mean OKT4/OKT8 ratio in hemophiliac patients was significantly lower than in the controls. Although no patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have been found in Japan, hemophiliac patients are supposed to be at increased risk of AIDS by our studies.
متن کاملRelation of bronchoalveolar lavage T lymphocyte subpopulations to rate of regression of active pulmonary tuberculosis.
BACKGROUND Effective host defence against mycobacterial infection chiefly depends on the interactions between macrophages and T lymphocytes. This study investigated the relation of cellular components and their activity of cells obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from the lower respiratory tract to disease regression in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis without HIV infection. ...
