Dynamic changes in the immune function of children with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia on different disease stages / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the changes and functions of T lymphocyte subsets,immune globulin and complement in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP) on different disease stages.MethodsThe levels of T Iymphocyte subsets of CD3,CD4,CD8 and immunoglobulin ( IgG,IgA IgM),and complement ( C3,C4 ) in the peripheral blood were detected on acute and recovery stages in 28 children with MPP by flow cytometry and immune nephelometry.Twenty-five healthy children were recruited as control group.ResultsAmong these subjects of MPP children on acute stage,the levels of CD3,CD4,CD8,and CD4/CD8 in the peripheral blood were (58.71 ± 11.63)％,(32.36 ± 8.06)％,(28.19±6.23 ) ％ and 1.15 ± 0.41 respectively,and on recovery stage,the levels of CD3,CD4,CD8,and CD4/CD8 were (61.29 ±10.17)％,(34.14 ±7.22)％,(26.47 ±6.01)％,and 1.29 ±0.37 respectively.Both on acute stage and on recovery stage of MPP children,the levels of CD4,CD4/CD8 were significantly lower than those in control group [ (39.53 ± 6.16 ) ％,1.83 ± 0.49 ],and CD8 was significantly higher compared to thecontrol group( 1.83 ± 0.49 ),P＜0.01.CD3 were lower than that in control group [ (63.03 ± 12.32) ％ ] on acute stage (P＜0.01 ),and no significant difference on recovery stage (P＞0.05).During the acute stage of MPP,IgG [ ( 14.50 ±3.86) g/L] and IgM [ ( 1.67 ±0.56) g/L] were obviously higher than those in control group [ (7.92 ± 2.62 ) g/L,( 1.06 ± 0.32 ) g/L,P＜0.01 ],and C3 [ ( 0.83 ± 0.42 ) g/L ] were obviously lower compared to the control group [ ( 1.37 ± 0.33 ) g/L,P＜0.05].There were no significant differences of IgA and C4 between MPP and control groups ( P＞0.05 ).ConclusionChildren with MPP had celhilar immune and humoral immune disorders.Through the detection of T lymphocyte subsets,immunoglobulin and complement,it will be helpful to judge the effectiveness of clinical treatment,which provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of immune regulators.
