    Summary

    This study found that T-lymphocyte function remains intact in acute dysentery patients. Lymphocyte blast-cell transformation by specific antigens can aid in diagnosing and predicting disease severity.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Acute dysentery poses a significant public health challenge, necessitating effective diagnostic and prognostic tools.
    • Understanding the cellular immune response in dysentery is crucial for managing patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the cellular immune response in patients with acute dysentery.
    • To evaluate the utility of the lymphocyte blast-cell transformation reaction for diagnosis and prognosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied 89 adult patients with acute dysentery using the lymphocyte blast-cell transformation reaction.
    • Assessed T-lymphocyte response to a specific antigen (dysenterin) and a nonspecific mitogen (phytohemagglutinin).

    Main Results:

    • T-lymphocyte functional value was retained in acute dysentery patients.
    • Lymphocyte stimulation by dysenterin was observed in moderately severe and severe forms during the first week.
    • Higher lymphocyte blast forms correlated with faster clinical improvement.

    Conclusions:

    • The lymphocyte blast-cell transformation reaction demonstrates specificity for dysentery.
    • This reaction is a valuable tool for differential diagnosis and prognosis of acute dysentery, particularly for moderately severe and severe cases.
