Cross-sectional study of the relationship of peripheral blood cell profiles with severity of infection by adenovirus type 55.


ABSTRACT:

Background

The immunologic profiles of patients with human adenovirus serotype 55 (HAdV-55) infections were characterized in subjects diagnosed with silent infections (n?=?30), minor infections (n?=?27), severe infections (n?=?34), and healthy controls (n?=?30) during a recent outbreak among Chinese military trainees.

Methods

Blood was sampled at the disease peak and four weeks later, and samples were analyzed to measure changes in leukocyte and platelet profiles in patients with different severities of disease. Differential lymphocyte subsets and cytokine profiles were measured by flow cytometry and Luminex xMAP®, and serum antibodies were analyzed by ELISA and immunofluorescence staining.

Results

Patients with severe HAdV infections had higher proportions of neutrophils and reduced levels of lymphocytes (p?ConclusionsPatients with different severities of disease due to HAdV-55 infection had significantly different immune responses. These data provide an initial step toward the identification of patients at risk for more severe disease and the development of treatments against HAdV-55 infection.
