The Common Causes of Lymphopenia.

چکیده
Since differential blood counts are now reported in absolute numbers as well as in percentages, lymphopenia is frequently found and its significance questioned. Whitby and Britton (1946) say that the lymphocytes in the peripheral blood may be diminished in the acute stages of an infection, in conditions of exhaustion, after excessive x-ray irradiation, with vitamin deficiency, and in the terminal phase of uraemia. Wintrobe (1946) says:

CD25+CD4+ regulatory T cells and memory T cells prevent lymphopenia-induced proliferation of naive T cells in transient states of lymphopenia.
Lymphopenia has been associated with autoimmune pathology and it has been suggested that lymphopenia-induced proliferation of naive T cells may be responsible for the development of immune pathology. In this study we demonstrate that lymphopenia-induced proliferation is restricted to conditions of extreme lymphopenia, because neither naive nor memory T cells transferred into T cell-depleted hos...
متن کاملIncreased Susceptibility for Superinfection with Streptococcus pneumoniae during Influenza Virus Infection Is Not Caused by TLR7-Mediated Lymphopenia
Influenza A virus (IAV) causes respiratory tract infections leading to recurring epidemics with high rates of morbidity and mortality. In the past century IAV induced several world-wide pandemics, the most aggressive occurring in 1918 with a death toll of 20-50 million cases. However, infection with IAV alone is rarely fatal. Instead, death associated with IAV is usually mediated by superinfect...
متن کاملWhat We Know of the Prognostic Value of Lymphopenia in SARS-CoV-2 Infection
Background: Although by comparing the number of deaths to the total number of cases one may conclude that most of the infected cases are recovering, taking a look at the increasing statistics of deaths shows that SARS-CoV-2 continues to take its toll. Since lymphocytes are the main immune cells battling with rapidly evolving viruses, it comes as no surprise to assume that a decreased number of ...
متن کاملAnemia in Systemic lupus erythematosus: from pathophysiology to clinical assessment
Hematological abnormalities are very common in systemic lupus erythematosus. Α nemia is found in approximately 50% of patients, with anemia of chronic disease being the most common form. Impaired erythropoietin response and presence of antibodies against erythropoietin may contribute to the pathogenesis of this type of anemia. Patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia usually belong to a distin...
متن کاملRelationship between C-reactive protein (CRP) and lymphopenia with disease severity in hospitalized patients with Covid-19 in Yasuj city in 2020
Introduction: Due to the high prevalence of Covid-19 disease and limited treatment capacity, rapid identification of factors indicating the severity of the disease can be very helpful. It is predicted that positive CRP along with lymphopenia is related to the severity of Covid-19 infection. Objective: The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between C-react...
