We investigated leukocyte and lymphocyte subsets in HIV-infected or HIV-uninfected, pregnant or non-pregnant Malawian women to explore whether HIV infection and pregnancy may act synergistically to impair cellular immunity.
We recruited 54 pregnant and 48 non-pregnant HIV-uninfected women and 24 pregnant and 20 non-pregnant HIV-infected Malawian women. We compared peripheral blood leukocyte and lymphocyte subsets between women in the four groups.
Parturient HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected women had more neutrophils (each P<.0001), but fewer lymphocytes (P<.0001; P=.0014) than non-pregnant women. Both groups had fewer total T cells (P<.0001; P=.002) and CD8 T cells (P<.0001; P=.014) than non-pregnant women. HIV-uninfected parturient women had fewer CD4 and γδ T cells, B and NK cells (each P<.0001) than non-pregnant women. Lymphocyte subset percentages were not affected by pregnancy.
Malawian women at parturition have an increased total white cell count due to neutrophilia and an HIV-unrelated pan-lymphopenia.
我们调查了感染或未感染艾滋病毒、怀孕或未怀孕的马拉维女性的白细胞和淋巴细胞亚群,以探究艾滋病毒感染和怀孕是否可能协同作用损害细胞免疫。
我们招募了54名怀孕且未感染艾滋病毒的女性、48名未怀孕且未感染艾滋病毒的女性、24名怀孕且感染艾滋病毒的马拉维女性和20名未怀孕且感染艾滋病毒的马拉维女性。我们比较了四组女性外周血白细胞和淋巴细胞亚群。
与未怀孕女性相比,分娩时感染艾滋病毒和未感染艾滋病毒的女性中性粒细胞更多(P均<0.0001),但淋巴细胞更少(P<0.0001;P = 0.0014)。两组的总T细胞(P<0.0001;P = 0.002)和CD8 T细胞(P<0.0001;P = 0.014)均少于未怀孕女性。与未怀孕女性相比,未感染艾滋病毒的分娩期女性的CD4和γδ T细胞、B细胞和NK细胞更少(P均<0.0001)。淋巴细胞亚群百分比不受怀孕影响。
马拉维分娩期女性由于中性粒细胞增多导致白细胞总数增加,且存在与艾滋病毒无关的全淋巴细胞减少。
