ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the change of peripheral Th1/Th2 cells in patients with CAP/CPPS and its significance in various clinical types of CAP/CPPS.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) secreted by CD3+ CD8(-)T cells were detected by flow cytometry in 35 patients with CAP/CPPS and 12 healthy volunteers, and significance of Th1/Th2 cells ratio in the etiology of CAP/CPPS was analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with control group, peripheral Th1 cells were significantly increased in patients with IIIA and III B CAP/CPPS, the Th1/Th2 cell ratio was apparently increased (P <0.05), while Th2 cells was not different from that in the control(P>0.05 ); Th1, Th2 cells and Th1/Th2 in patients with IIIA CPPS were not statistically different from those in III B CPPS respectively (P > 0.05) .</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>There is a Th1/Th2 imbalance in CAP/CPPS patients with an increase of Th1 type cytokines. Th1 cell may play an important role in the pathogenesis of CAP/CPPS.</p>
