Abstract:Objective To investigate the changes and significance of peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets in the course of Clostridium difficile infection.Methods A total of 31 patients with Clostridium difficile infection admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical College from January 2018 to February 2020 were selected as the observation group,and 32 normal physical examination subjects during the same period were selected as the control group.The levels of peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets were compared between the two groups,and the levels of peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets of patients with different severity of Clostridium difficile infection were compared.Results The levels of CD3+,CD4+and CD8+in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The levels of CD3+,CD4+and CD8+in patients with mild to moderate infections and patients with severe infections were lower than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).There was no statistical difference in CD3+in peripheral blood between mild and moderate infection and severe infection (P>0.05).The levels of CD4+and CD8+cells in severely infected patients were lower than those in mild-moderate infected patients,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Cellular immunosuppression was observed in patients infected with Clostridium difficile,the levels of CD4+ and CD8+cells in patients with different degrees of infection showed a gradually decreasing trend,and the decrease was most significant in severely infected patients.The detection of T lymphocyte subsets is helpful for clinical immunotherapy and prognostic evaluation
