Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To study the changes of T-Lymphocyte and activated T-Lymphocyte subsets in influenza A (H1N1) virus patients.

METHODS: The percentages of the subsets of Lymphocyte were detected by flow cytometry in influenza A (H1N1) virus patients (n = 144) and normal controls (n = 41). Furthermore, the subsets of T-Lymphocyte and activated T-lymphocyte were analyzed in 83 among those patients before and after treatment.

RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the counts of Lymphocyte in patients with influenza A (H1N1) virus was significantly discreased, the counts of Lymphocyte in patients with influenza A virus concurrent pneumonia was significantly discreased those of no concurrent pneumonia; Compared with the control group, the percentage of T-lymphocyte in patients with influenza A virus concurrent pneumonia was significantly discreased. The counts and percentage of CD3 and CD8 cells was significantly discreased in patients (n = 83) before treatment; The counts of CD4 cells was significantly discreased before treatment. The percentage of HLA-DR+ CD+, HLA-DR+ CD4+ and HLA-DR+ CD8+ cells was significantly discreased in patients (n = 83) before treatment.

CONCLUSIONS: To understand the expression of the T-Lymphocyte and activated T-Lymphocyte subsets in influenza A (H1N1) virus patients may help to evaluate the patients' cellular immune status, but also be a guideline of early diagnosis of Influenza A (H1N1) virus.
