title: [Changes in neutrophil counts and lymphocytes subpopulations of a ECLS instituted patient].
abstract: A 4-year-old girl with tetoralogy of Fallot developed acute heart failure after ASD semiclosure. As drugs had no effect, ECLS was instituted. She gradually recovered from acute heart failure. ECLS was detached at 5 days after institution. Neutrocytopenia and lymphocytopenia became apparent during ECLS institution. The Subpopulations of T cell and NK cell decreased, and B cell subpopulation increased on the contrary during ECLS institution. This lymphocytopenia was caused by a decrease in T cell, especially CD4(+) cell numbers. It is necessary to minimize the potential for infection during ELCS institution.
