Zmiany ilościowe limfocytów B i ich subpopulacji CD5+ i CD23+ u dzieci szkolnych z dysplazją oskrzelowo-płucną

Conclusions 1. In schoolchildren, born preterm with respiratory insufficiency, who became sick with BPD there are quantitative changes of B lymphocytes and their subpopulation CD23+ B. 2. The severity of BPD has a crucial influence on the decrease of B lymphocytes and on the increase of CD23+ lymphocytes. 3. Quantitative analysis of B lymphocytes and CD23+ lymphocytes in schoolchildren with past severe neonatal pathology may be useful for the assessment of immunological reactions in children with BPD and for determining their immune defences.
