The diagnostic significance of subpopulation composition of lymphocytes in atopic dermatitis in children of early age
Abstract
The development of atopic dermatitis in young children is due to genetic predisposition,
diseases of the mother during pregnancy, as well as the impact of adverse environmental factors.
At the heart of the pathological process of hypersensitivity is the formation of an imbalance
between subpopulations of lymphocytes. 39 children aged from 3 months to 1 year were examined. Immunophenotyping of lymphocytes was carried out by the method of flow cytofluorometry using a non-washing technology. For the differentiation of lymphocytes in atopic dermatitis in young children is characterized by the presence of distinctive features in each of the age groups. Timely diagnosis of subpopulation composition of lymphocytes will allow pathogenetically justified immunocorrection to reduce the risk of concomitant pathology, as well as improve the effectiveness of basic therapy.
