Clinical significance of cellular immune function in patients with viral myocarditis

AIM: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,24h 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(P0.05),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(P0.05),but still slightly lower than the control group,but the difference was not statistically significant.CONCLUSION: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.
