[T mu and T gamma-lymphocyte counts and their ratio in patients with brucellosis].
The levels of circulating T mu- and T gamma-lymphocytes in brucellosis patients have been studied in relation to the clinical form of the disease, the severity of the process and the allergic transformation of the body. A decrease in the content of lymphocytes, affecting mainly T mu-cells and less commonly T gamma-cells, as well as a change in their ratio has been revealed. The level of this decrease depended on the clinical form of brucellosis, the severity of the course of acute and subacute brucellosis, the phase of chronic brucellosis and the allergic transformation of the body. The disproportion of immunoregulating cells in brucellosis, revealed in this study, is supposed to be of pathogenetic importance.
