Comparison of Peripheral Lymphocyte Subsets Between Patients
with Different Disease Stages of Imaging
Based on the classification method described previously, we reclassified
the patients with perfect clinical data based on imaging and divided the
patients into three groups, 34 in mild group, 60 in fibrosis group.
(Table 5 ) We found that the percentage and the absolute number
of T cells, particularly CD4+ T cells were indeed
statistically different. T cells and CD4+ T cells were
negatively correlated with disease progression. No significant
correlation was found for the percentage and the absolute number of each
of the other peripheral lymphocytes.
