Computer morphometry of peripheric blood lymphocytes at patients of different age with pneumonia

With the purpose of studying the blood reaction of different ages and sex patients with pneumonia are surveyed 116 patients with out-hospital bacterial pneumonia (80 men and 36 women), which have been parted on three age groups: 18-44 years, 45-59 and 60-74 years, control groups have made 16 and 14 practically healthy men and women, accordingly. All surveyed leads a computer morphometry of pe-ripheric blood lymphocytes. Different reaction of lymphocytes to pneumonia at men and women young and middle age is taped. Indirect indicatings on depression of a level of lymphocytes activation at women in young and middle age are received at development of pneumonia. At elderly patients with pneumonia the sizes of lymphocytes do not change concerning control groups that testifies to disturbance of the im-mune answer to inflammation.
