title: [An immunofunctional assessment of herpes simplex keratitis patients with T-lymphocyte subsets monoclonal antibodies].
abstract: The T-lymphocyte subsets T11, T4, T8, and the T4/T8 ratio in peripheral blood of patients with herpes simplex keratitis (HSK) were determined by means of monoclonal antibodies. The patients included dendritic keratitis 7 cases, geographic keratitis 7 cases, disciform keratitis 7 cases, metaherpetic keratitis 5 cases, necrotic stromal keratitis 5 cases, and inactive herpetic keratitis 11 cases; 21 healthy subjects served as controls. The results showed that the pattern of T-lymphocyte subsets in inactive patients differed little from that of the controls, while in active patients it varied for different clinical types, of which the clinical significance was discussed.
