The Study of Red Cell Immune Function in Children With Asthma / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the change of the red blood cell(RBC) immunoadhensive function in children with asthma and the effect of glucocorticoid on RBC immunoadhensive function.Methods The rosette rate of RBC-C3b receptor(RBC-C3bRR) and rosette rate of RBC-Immunocomplex(RBC-ICR) were measured by using yeast rosette method in 42 children with asthma,20 healthy children(control group),and 28 asthmatic children in remission period were measured also by the same methods after one month and six months of glucocorticoid inhalation therapy.Results The levels of RBC-C3bRR were lower in asthma group than that in remission group and control group(P0 05).Conclusions RBC immunoadhensive function has shown significant decrease in asthmatic children;and it may be improved by using glucocorticoid inhalation therapy in asthmatic children at remission period.
