Repartition peripheriques des populations lymphocytaires dans la maladie de basedow

ABSTRACT

Peripheral repartition of blood lymphocytes have been studied about 20 cases of grave's disease. These patients whose average age is 33 years are seen before any treatment. The total T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes value is normal. High values of immunoglobulins of G and M classes prove polyclonal activation of lymphocyte B. The helpers T lymphocytes [LTH] are increased and the suppressor T lymphocytes [LTS] are decreased. The LTH / LTS ratio is increased. That shows an auto-immune process in Grave's pathogeny
