Elevated monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells positively correlate with infection frequency in children with RRTIs.

In children with recurrent respiratory tract infections (RRTIs), the percentages and numbers of monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) were elevated. The elevated MDSCs positively correlate with respiratory tract infection frequency in RRTIs children. The elevated MDSCs can inhibit CD8+ T-cells proliferation in RRTIs children.
