Abstract

Peripheral leukocytes from 16 Thai children with dengue hemorrhagic fever were examined to determine the leukocyte composition on the day of presentation and on convalescent days 15 and 30. Mononuclear cells were isolated each time, and the concentrations of T, B, Fc receptor-bearing, and "null" cells were determined. On the day of hospitalization, in comparison to convalescent values, there was a significant increase in total lymphocytes, primarily due to concentrations of atypical lymphocytes. There was a significant loss of T cells with an increase in non-T, non-B, non-Fc receptor-bearing null cells. There were no changes in the concentrations of monocytes, B cells, or Fc receptor-bearing cells when acute and convalescent values were compared. During the convalescent period, a progressive increase in eosinophils was noted. Also, on day 15 but not on day 30 of the convalescent period, an increase was observed in the total leukocyte number due to an increase in granulocytes. There results indicate that in Thai children with dengue hemorrhagic fever, there are major shifts within several component cell subpopulations of the immune system.
