ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the Th17 and regulatory T cells(Tr) equilibrium state as well as their changes of tuberculosis patients in six-month's anti-Tuberculosis treatment.Methods Select thirty-two tuberculosis patients received anti-Tuberculosis treatment while thirty-two healthy volunteers as controls.Flow cytometry was used to analyze Th17 and Tr cells in venous blood at the time of pre-therapy,3th,6th month.Results The ratio of Th17 cells in CD4 cells in tuberculosis patients and volunteers were (1.10±0.39)%,(2.50±1.03) %,(3.90±1.34) %,(4.50±1.52)%,respectively; the ratio of Tr cells were (9.17±3.26)%,(6.85±2.73)%,(5.46±1.69)%,(4.35±0.86)%,respectively.Conclusion Tuberculosis could make Th17 cells and Tr cells lost their balance,but the immune equilibrium state may gradually recover after anti-tuberculosis.The change of the amount of immune cells was likely to be the reference indexes to observe the progress of tuberculosis and the treatment effect of anti-tuberculosis.
