T-lymphocyte subpopulations were studied in a group of patients with rhinoscleroma due to Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis. The data demonstrated that these patients had a significantly greater number of T-suppressor/cytotoxic lymphocytes than did clinically healthy individuals. This finding correlated with a diminished response to the T-cell mitogen concanavalin A. The evidence indicated that the T-cell response of these patients was decreased and may reflect the host's response to the bacterial invader, thus explaining the chronicity of the disease.
对一组因鼻硬结克雷伯菌引起鼻硬结病的患者的T淋巴细胞亚群进行了研究。数据表明,这些患者的T抑制/细胞毒性淋巴细胞数量明显多于临床健康个体。这一发现与对T细胞有丝分裂原刀豆球蛋白A的反应减弱相关。证据表明,这些患者的T细胞反应降低,这可能反映了宿主对细菌入侵者的反应,从而解释了该疾病的慢性病程。
