3.5 Lymphocyte subsets analysis
Six patients were tested for peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets during the acute onset and/or recovery phase after immunosuppressive treatment. The results related to different medications are summarized in Table-2. The percentages of CD3+ and CD4+ T cells after treatment were significantly higher (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively). However, there was no significant difference in the percentage of CD8+ T cells or the CD4+/CD8+ ratio (p > 0.05) (Figure 5).
