[Regulatory activity of lymphocytes in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis]
Abstract
Functional activity of T-lymphocyte suppressors (spontaneous and Con-A induced) has been studied in 17 patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis. Patients with ++fibrous-cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis were found to have characteristic disturbances of the regulatory lymphocyte function and a high index of theophylline-resistant E-RFC/theophylline-sensitive E-RFC in the presence of a general reduction of the immunity T-system indices. A higher balance of the regulatory lymphocytes was seen in patients with infiltrative tuberculosis in various disorders of the immunologic parameters.
