Objective To study the clinical significance of cell factors in plasma samples of hand?foot?mouth disease. Methods Sixty?nine cases hand?foot?mouth diseases children who were treated in Fifth People’ s Hospital of Wuxi from July to December 2014 were selected as research objects,and divided into normal hand?foot?mouth disease group with 48 cases and severe hand?foot?mouth disease group with 21 cases. Twenty healthy children were selected as healthy control group. Serum samples were collected from 3 groups of subjects. The lev?el of IgA,IgG and IgM were detected by immune turbidity method. The level of IFN?γ, IL?10, IL?13 and IL?2 were detected by flow cytometry. Results The level of serum IgG,IgA of severe hand?foot?mouth disease group patients were (12. 33±8. 58) g/L,(0. 78±0. 55) g/L,significantly lower than control group((7. 09±6. 36) g/L,(0. 61±0. 36) g/L) and the normal hand?foot?mouth disease group((7. 41±5. 07) g/L,(0. 57±0. 41) g/L),the differences were significant(P<0. 05),while there was no significant difference between normal hand?foot?mouth disease group and control group( P>0. 05) ,and there was no significant difference in term of the level of IgM among the three groups( P>0. 05) . The level of serum IFN?γ,IL?2,IL?13 of severe hand?foot?mouth dis?ease group were (0. 95±0. 67) ng/L,(1. 07±0. 64) ng/L,(1. 25±0. 46) ng/L,significantly lower than normal hand?foot?mouth disease group((2. 72±1. 15) ng/L,(2. 07±1. 53) ng/L,(2. 31±1. 35 ) ng/L) and the control group((1. 83±1. 12 ) ng/L,(1. 61±1. 37) ng/L,(1. 99±0. 75) ng/L),the differences were significant(P<0. 05). The level of serum IL?10 of normal hand?foot?mouth disease group was (2. 69±1. 33) ng/L,significant?ly higher than severe hand?foot?mouth disease group ( ( 1. 54 ± 1. 23 ) ng/L ) and control group ( ( 1. 35 ± 1. 12 ) ng/L) ,the differences were significant( P<0. 05) . Conclusion The level of serum cytokines can reflect the ge?netic profile status,understand the development trend of the disease,provide a reliable index for early clinical in?tervention.
