Abstract:
Objective To explore the impact of peripheral blood CD4 + T cells on nutritional status of patients with non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) lung disease. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed including 78 patients with NTM lung disease from January 2008 to December 2012 in Guangzhou Chest Hospital, who were divided into cellular immunocompromised group with 43 cases and control group including 35 cases and then the impact of malnutrition on cellular immune function decline was explored. Results Peripheral blood CD4+T cells were positively correlated with CD3+T cells, CD8+T cells, CD4+/CD8+T cell ratio in all of the included patients(P<0.05), while there was no correlation among peripheral blood CD4+T cells, ALB and PA (P>0.05). Compared with those in control group, TLC count was obviously lower while there were more patients with bronchiectasis in cellular immunocompromised group, which indicated statistical significance (P < 0.05). Conclusions Most of NTM patients are associated with malnutrition and NTM patients of cellular immunocompromised are associated with bronchiectasis easily and obvious reducing of TLC, but CD4+T cells and serum proteins levels are not necessarily correlated. The severity of NTM is commonly caused by such factors as basic pathologic change, cellular immunization, nutrition and infection.
