Abstract:
In order to observe the therapeutic effect of azithromycin combined with IFN-γ on mouse toxoplasmosis and its impact on the cellular immune function of mouse, a total of 100 BALB/c mice were selected and divided into 5 groups, namely an infection control group (Group A) , azithromycin treatment group (Group B) , azithromycin combined with IFN-γ treatment group (Group C) , IFN-γ treatment group (Group D) and blank control group (Group E). The mice in Group A, B, C, D were infected by Toxoplasma tachyzoites through intraperitoneal injection and those in Group B, C, D were treated with relative drugs 24 h later for S days. The survival time of mice in each group and the levels of CD4 ~+ and CD8~+ T cells in blood were observed. The results showed that azithromycin combined with IFN-γ could improve the therapeutic effect of mouse toxoplasmosis and the cellular immune function of mice.
