[Determination of T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients with chronic tonsillitis].
OBJECTIVE
To observe the cellular immunologic status of patients with chronic tonsillis.


METHODS
T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood lymphocytes of 60 cases with chronic tonsillis were detected.


RESULTS
It was found that CD4, CD4/CD8 in chronic tonsillis patients decreased than that in normal control group with statistical significance (P < 0.01).


CONCLUSIONS
This study indicates that the cellular immunologic status in patients with chronic tonsillitis was decreased.
