摘要

The properdin or alternate complement pathway may function as a heat-labile opsonin for pneumococci, and evidence has been sought for its activation in pneumococcal infections. Twenty-two patients had determinations of C1q, C4, properdin factor B, C3, and hemolytic complement during hospitalization for pneumococcal infection. Measurements were made during the first 36 h after admission on 16 patients and later during recovery on 16. The admission and recovery values were compared statistically with each other and with the levels of 15 normal individuals. The admission and recovery mean values were normal and nearly identical for C1q and C4, which are two early components of the classical pathway. The mean level of factor N, a properdin pathway component, was significantly depressed on admission, but the mean recovery value was normal. Admission levels for C3, a component of the late common pathway, were depressed, and recovery values were normal. Total hemolytic complement was decreased on admission, although the decrease was not significant for the patients with both admission and recovery determinations. The findings are consistent with the hypothesis that factor B is turned over rapidly, or consumed, early in pneumococcal infections; alternatively, persons with low baseline factor B levels may be particularly susceptible to pneumococcal infection.
