Effects of intravenous immunoglobulin on immunity and cytokine levels in children with EV71 infection associated high-risk pulmonary hemorrhage / 实用医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the influence of IVIG on immunologic function and cytokines levels in children with EV71 infection associated high-risk pulmonary hemorrhage. Methods According to the inclu-sion criteria , 64 children were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups 39 cases in the IVIG treatment group and 25 cases in the general treatment group. The alternations of blood and immune cytokine markers before and after treatment were detected in the patients. Results (1) Before treatment, the peripheral blood T cells, TH and B cells in the IVIG group were higher than those in the general group , but the peripheral blood IgA was lower than that in the general group(P 0.05). Conclusion Disorders of cellular immunity and humoral immunity appeared in children with EV71 infection-re-lated high-risk pulmonary hemorrhage. It has clinical value to use IVIG timely to regulate the immune disorder.
