Abstract: | Summary To determine the CD30 expression on peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets in patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and its
clinical implications, double immunofluorescence technique and flow cytometry were used. There was no significant difference
among the severe group, mild-moderate group and normal control group in the CD+CD30 T lymphocyte subset. While the CD4
+CD30
− T cells of HFRS patients were increased and the difference between severe group and mild-moderate group or normal control
group were very significant (P<0.01) and the difference between the mild-moderate group and normal control group was also significant (P<0.05). The CD8
+CD30
− T cells were increased while the CD8
+CD30
- T cells decreased obviously in HFRS patients, and the differences among three groups in both subsets were very significant
(P<0.01). The results showed that the humoral immunity and cellular immunity are overactive in HFRS patients during acute phase.
The loss of balance between T lymphocyte subsets may play an important role in the pathophysiology of HFRS and is closely
correlated with the severity of the HFRS.
