Abstract

Peripheral erythrocyte rosette-forming cells (ERFC), Tγ cell and Tμ cell counts were studied in 141 children with different types of viral hepatitis and in 65 healthy children as control. The results showed variations not only in total number of ERFC, but also in Tγ cells and Tμ cells in different types of viral hepatitis. It was also found that determination of Tγ cell percentage may be of value in diagnosing the condition of the diseases, and determination of Tγ cell and Tγ/Tμ ratio may be of value in estimating the prognosis. The possible mechanism of variations in ERFC, Tγ cells and Tμ cells is discussed.
