Abstract:〔Abstract〕 Objective To investigate the changes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) secretory protein MPT64, interleukin-12 (IL-12) and T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). Methods A total of 56 PTB patients admitted to Longgang Central Hospital from March 2019 to February 2021 were selected as the observation group. According to the course of disease, they were divided into 30 cases of active PTB and 26 cases of stable PTB. 56 healthy people in the same period were selected as the control group. The levels of serum MPT64 and IL-12 in the two groups were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the levels of peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets related indicators in the two groups were detected by flow cytometry, and the correlation between peripheral blood MPT64, IL-12 and T lymphocyte subsets parameters was analyzed. Results The levels of serum MPT64, IL-12 and peripheral blood CD3+ , CD4+ , CD8+ in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05), while the CD4+ /CD8+ level was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that CD4+ , CD8+ in peripheral blood of PTB patients were positively correlated with MPT64 and IL-12. The ratio of CD4+ /CD8+ was negatively correlated with MPT64 and IL-12. Conclusion By detecting the changes of T lymphocyte subsets and serum MPT64 and IL-12, it can provide reference for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis evaluation of PTB.
