摘要

BACKGROUND: Paediatric oncology patients with febrile neutropenia are usually hospitalised and treated with empirical broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy to counter the risk of infection. However, there is currently no method available to rapidly identify bacteremia in these patients. T-helper-type-1 (Th1) cytokines are required for effective immune response to many pathogenic organisms and T regulatory cells are known suppressors of Th1 cells. We hypothesized that characterization of reduced intracellular Th1 cytokines and increased T regulatory cells (Tregs) may prove useful in identifying infection in childhood oncology patients with febrile neutropenia. METHODS: Intracellular Th 1 cytokines and Tregs were enumerated in peripheral blood from a group of childhood oncology patients with febrile neutropenia using multiparameter flow cytometry. RESULTS: There was a significant increase in the percentage of CD25(+) CD127(-) CD8(-) CD3(+) Tregs and a significant decrease in Th1 intracellular cytokines IFNgamma, IL-2 and TNFalpha in the blood of culture positive patients compared with culture negative patients. CONCLUSIONS: Enumeration of Tregs and intracellular Th1 cytokines may provide a sensitive, specific test for determining infection in childhood oncology patients before blood culture results become available.
