The absolute counts of lymphocyte subsets demonstrated a clinical significance for patients with SARS. means ‫ע‬ SD The differences in the mean values between patients with SARS and healthy control subjects were estimated with Student's t test, with a limit of significance of 0.05. The mean lymphocyte count of patients with SARS was significantly lower than that of healthy control subjects ( ; table 1) . The results of lymphocyte immunophenotyping demonstrated that the absolute counts of all lymphocyte subsets declined in patients with SARS (table 2) . Our study shows that the absolute counts of CD4 + T cells and CD8 + T cells have clinical significance in patients with SARS and that surveillance of lymphocytes and lymphocyte subsets is helpful in the diagnosis and treatment of SARS.	./cache/cord-265242-y8t37p0b.txt	./txt/cord-265242-y8t37p0b.txt
