The present study was undertaken to evaluate the possible occurrence of immunological abnormalities in thalassaemia major patients treated with deferiprone (L1).
Longitudinal observational cohort study.
The absolute number of CD8+ lymphocytes was high and the CD4/CD8 ratio low before L1 treatment; these parameters returned to normal after 3 months of L1 treatment. TNF-alpha, IL-2 and IL-2sRalpha were elevated before L1 treatment (11.83 +/- 1.75, 11.75 +/- 3.91, 1,409 +/- 621 pg/ml, respectively), while IL-6 was normal (2.58 +/- 0.79 pg/ml). After 12 months of treatment, IL-10 was higher than in previous periods, although always within the normal range. TNF-alpha, IL-2 and IL-2sRalpha returned to normal after 12, 6, and 3 months of L1 treatment, respectively.
本研究旨在评估接受去铁酮(L1)治疗的重型地中海贫血患者可能出现的免疫异常情况。
纵向观察队列研究。
在L1治疗前,CD8 + 淋巴细胞绝对数较高,CD4/CD8比值较低;L1治疗3个月后这些参数恢复正常。L1治疗前TNF-α、IL-2和IL-2sRα升高(分别为11.83±1.75、11.75±3.91、1409±621 pg/ml),而IL-6正常(2.58±0.79 pg/ml)。治疗12个月后,IL-10虽始终在正常范围内,但高于之前各时期。TNF-α、IL-2和IL-2sRα分别在L1治疗12、6和3个月后恢复正常。
