ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To study the cell-mediated immune function among older inpatients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia.METHODS T-cell subsets and expression of membrane molecule on activated T-cell in peripheral blood were measured in 35 cases with P.aeruginosa pneumonia by using immunofluorescence and flow cytometry,and compared with those of control healthy older people.RESULTS The expressions of CD4+ /CD3+ and CD25+ /CD3+ in P.aeruginosa pneumonia patients were lower than in control group(P0.05).CONCLUSIONS There are disfunctions of lymphocgte and immunity among P.aeruginosa pneumonia patients.
