Estudio de las subpoblaciones linfocitarias T en pacientes pediátricos con anomalías tronco-conales cardiovasculares Study of the T-lymphocyte subpopulations in pediatric patients with conal-truncal cardiovascular abnormalities

Abstract

Se estudiaron en 20 pacientes pediátricos con anomalías tronco-conales cardiovasculares las subpoblaciones de linfocitos T mediante el método de la fosfatasa alcalina antifosfatasa alcalina con los anticuerpos monoclonales específicos anti-CD3, anti-CD4 y anti-CD8. Se tomó como grupo control a 25 individuos supuestamente sanos. Se obtuvieron diferencias significativas para las subpoblaciones T CD3 y CD4 positivas (p The T-lymphocyte subpopulations were studied in 20 pediatric patients with conal-truncal cardiovascular abnormalities by the alkaline phosphatase alkaline antiphosphatase method with the anti-CD3, anti-CD4, and anti-CD8 specific monoclonal antibodies. 25 apparently sound individuals were selected as the control group. Significant differences were obtained for the CD3- and CD4-positive T cell subpopulations (p< 0.05). The cellular immunological deficit found in these patients shows the need to include immunomodulators in their treatment to prevent septic complications
