[The T mu- and T gamma-lymphocyte count and their ratio in patients with brucellosis of various focal natures].
The content of T mu- and T gamma-lymphocytes and their ratio in patients having subacute and chronic brucellosis with different foci of infection have been studied. The relationship between the decrease in the levels of T mu- and T gamma-cells and the clinical form of the disease and its clinical manifestations, such as polyarthritis, has been established. Manifestations of disturbances in the T mu-cell/T gamma-cell ratio were more pronounced in patients with subacute brucellosis in whom the lesions of the osteoarticular system prevailed. The detected changes in the counts of immunoregulatory cells in brucellosis are assumed to be of pathogenetic importance.
