T cell subsets in acute rheumatic fever, rheumatic heart disease and acute glomerulonephritis cases.
T cell subsets were studied in 45 patients, 15 each of acute rheumatic fever, rheumatic heart diseases, and acute glomerulonephritis and compared with 10 normal control in the same age group. A significant depression in the OKT1 and OKT4 +ve cells and insignificant increase in the OKT8 +ve cells was noted in all these groups of cases.
