Objective:
To probe into the possible impact on T cell immunity in children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).
Method:
Lymphocytes in peripheral blood vessel of children with OSAS vs normal controls were checked by APAAP method and analyzed statistically.
Result:
The comparison with the controls showed that CD3+ had no significant difference (P>0.05), CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ were significantly lower, CD8+ was significantly higher in children with OSAS (P<0.01), and the analysis of the LSaO2 and period of history showed that the lower the LSaO2, and the longer the period of history, the more effect to CD4+, CD8+, CD3+/CD8+ (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
T cell immunity are impaired in children with OSAS.
