Immunoregulatory T subsets, defined by monoclonal antibodies, were enumerated in children affected by HBsAg-positive chronic active hepatitis. The helper to suppressor/cytotoxic cells ratio was lower in patients than in age-matched controls. The lower ratio was mainly due to an increase of lymphocytes of the suppressor/cytotoxic phenotype. Helper cells were even fewer in severe chronic hepatitis patients, thereby lowering still further the helper/suppressor ratio. Therapy seemed to influence the ratio in patients affected by moderate active chronic hepatitis, for four of eight children treated with azathioprine and prednisone had a ratio within -1 SD of normal values. The increase of the suppressor/cytotoxic cells in patients affected by chronic hepatitis might be a means for limiting virus-induced cell hyperactivity.
