To investigate changes of T lymphocytes subsets in children with infectious mononucleosis (IM) and the effects of different interventions.
Forty-eight children with IM were enrolled, 28 cases were assigned to the group treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) 400 mg/(kg x d) for 5 continuous days or IVIG 1 g/(kg x d) for 2 continuous days, the remaining 20 cases were treated with ganciclovir (GCV) 5-10 mg/(kg x d) for 5 consecutive days. All these children were given general supportive therapies. Twenty healthy children from healthcare clinic serviced as control group.
CD4 (%), CD8 (%) and the CD4/CD8 ratio in healthy control group were (34.12 +/- 3.53)%, (26.22 +/- 4.43)% and (1.41 +/- 0.3), in IVIG group were (24.2 +/- 4.3)%, (36.4 +/- 6.8)% and (0.72 +/- 0.12), and in GCV group were (23.7 +/- 5.1)%, (37.3 +/- 7.8)% and (0.67 +/- 0.13), respectively. CD4 (%), CD8 (%) and the ratio CD4/CD8 in the control group were significantly different from those in both groups with IM (P < 0.05). Compared with pre-treatment levels, the 28 cases treated with IVIG had significant improvement, the CD4 (%) increased, CD8 (%) decreased and the ratio of CD4/CD8 increased after treatment (P < 0.05). However, 20 cases in GCV treatment group made less changes (P > 0.05) . Meanwhile, the clinical symptoms and signs in the IVIG group were improved faster than that in the GCV group (P < 0.05). The rate of remission in IVIG group was 88.7% vs. 59.2% of GCV group (P < 0.05); the hospital days in IVIG group were (9.2 +/- 4.3) days vs. (13.8 +/- 5.1) days in the GCV (P < 0.05).
It is indicated that the subsets of T lymphocytes in peripheral blood are obviously abnormal in children with IM caused by EBV infection in acute phase. IVIG can regulate the immunological derangements of T lymphocytes subsets, on which anti-viral therapy alone may have little impact.
探讨传染性单核细胞增多症(IM)患儿T淋巴细胞亚群的变化及不同干预措施的效果。
选取48例IM患儿,其中28例给予静脉注射免疫球蛋白(IVIG)400mg/(kg·d),连续5天或IVIG 1g/(kg·d),连续2天;其余20例给予更昔洛韦(GCV)5 - 10mg/(kg·d),连续5天。所有患儿均给予一般支持治疗。选取20名来自保健门诊的健康儿童作为对照组。
健康对照组CD4(%)、CD8(%)及CD4/CD8比值分别为(34.12±3.53)%、(26.22±4.43)%和(1.41±0.3);IVIG组分别为(24.2±4.3)%、(36.4±6.8)%和(0.72±0.12);GCV组分别为(23.7±5.1)%、(37.3±7.8)%和(0.67±0.13)。对照组CD4(%)、CD8(%)及CD4/CD8比值与两组IM患儿均有显著差异(P<0.05)。与治疗前水平相比,28例接受IVIG治疗的患儿有显著改善,治疗后CD4(%)升高,CD8(%)降低,CD4/CD8比值升高(P<0.05)。然而,GCV治疗组的20例患儿变化较小(P>0.05)。同时,IVIG组的临床症状和体征改善较GCV组更快(P<0.05)。IVIG组缓解率为88.7%,GCV组为59.2%(P<0.05);IVIG组住院天数为(9.2±4.3)天,GCV组为(13.8±5.1)天(P<0.05)。
提示EBV感染急性期所致IM患儿外周血T淋巴细胞亚群明显异常。IVIG可调节T淋巴细胞亚群的免疫紊乱,单纯抗病毒治疗对此可能影响较小。
