title: [Clinical significance of cellular immune function in patients with viral myocarditis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To probe into the clinical significance of cellular immune function in patients with viral myocarditis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Choose our hospital in January 2008-December 2009 admitted during the 75 patients of viral myocarditis as the experimental group, 67 healthy patients served as control groups, respectively, and hospital admission within 24 h after the venous blood, before and after treatment T cell subsets, natural killer cells (NK) activity and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) were detected and analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Compared with admission, 24 h after admission test in peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets CD3, CD4, CD8 and CD4/CD8 were improved and CD3, CD4 and CD4/CD8 were statistically significant differences (P<0.05), but still slightly lower in the control group, while the difference was not statistically significant. At the same time, compared with admission, 24 h after admission of natural killer cells in the experimental group (NK) and tumor necrosis factor were improved, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05), but still slightly lower than the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  More in-depth study of viral myocarditis in patients with immune injury mechanism will help to better guide the treatment, and has important clinical significance.
