Abstract

Infectious complications constitute the second most common cause of mortality and a main cause of morbidity in beta thalassemia major. Serum Ig G,A,M consentrations were measured in thalassemia major from patients sufferring recurrent infections. CD4, CD8, CD3, CD19 were determined in the pheripherical blood, using a flow cytometric technique. In this study, thalassemia patients were divided in two groups; splenectomized and nonsplenectomized. Immunological results were compared among them.

Özet

Talasemi major hastalarında enfeksiyon, mortalitenin en yaygın ikinci, morbiditenin ise en önemli sebebi olarak bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada splenektomili ve splenektomi yapılmamış talasemi major hastalarının serum IgG, A, M düzeyleri ve akım sitometrik analiz ile periferik kandan CD4, CD8, CD3, CD19 oranları ölçülmüş, splenektominin bu parametreler üzerine etkisi araştırılmıştır.
