pubmed:abstractText |
Thymus-derived lymphocytes (T lymphocytes) and complement receptor-bearing lymphocytes (CR+ lymphocytes) were estimated by using erythrocyte rosettes and erythrocyte-antibody-complement rosettes as markers in untreated lepromatous and untreated tuberculoid patients and in healthy controls. Treated lepromatous cases were also investigated. Ten cases of untreated lepromatous patients were reassessed 6 months or more after therapy commenced. A significant decrease in both percentages and absolute numbers of CR+ cells in the untreated lepromatous leprosy subjects was observed. This decrease showed a return to normal levels after treatment. The percentage of T cells in the untreated lepromatous cases was normal; however, the absolute numbers of T cells and the total lymphocyte count showed a significant decrease. After therapy, the T cell population was unchanged but the total number of lymphocytes increased significantly with treatment. The absolute number of T and CR+ cells was significantly less in the untreated than in the treated lepromatous patients.
