Preferential loss of Th17 cells is associated with CD4 T cell activation in patients with 2009 pandemic H1N1 swine-origin influenza A infection.

1 , absolute cell counts almost doubled for CD3 + , CD4 + , and CD8 + T cell subsets when compared within patients between the early and convalescent stages (1136 cells/μl for CD3 + , 551 cells/μl for CD4 + , and 465 cells/μl for CD8 + T cells); however, absolute cell counts for CD3 + , CD4 + , and CD8 + T cell subsets showed a decreasing trend when compared within patients between the intermediate and convalescent stages (966 cells/μl for CD3 + , 470 cells/μl for CD4 + , and 393 cells/μl for CD8 + T cells), and we observed no significant differences in absolute cell counts for CD3 + , CD4 + , and CD8 + T cell subsets within patients from the late and convalescent stages.
