title: [Analysis of lymphocyte surface marker from periferal blood in lung tuberculosis].
abstract: Lymphocyte surface marker from periferal blood of patients with active cavitary tuberculosis was observed. CD3+/HLA-DR + cell and CD25+/CD4 + cell were increased in cases with good clinical course. Disease course was prolonged in cases with no increase of such cells. CD4+/HLA-DR + cell was increased in cases with far advanced pulmonary lesions. Thus, analysis of lymphocyte surface marker from periferal blood of patients with tuberculosis seemed to reflect immunological status of patients.
