Proportion of leukomonocyte subgroup and T-helper type 1/T-helper type 2 balance in tuberculous pleural effusion and malignant pleural effusion
Objective To investigate the possible role of T-helper type 1/T-helper type 2 balance in the pathogenesis of human tuberculous and malignant pleuris
y by examining the proportion of T leukomonocyte subgroup: CD3

and evaluating the distribution features of Th1-type cytokines (INF-γ
IL-18 and TNF-α) and Th2-type cytokine (IL-10) in tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) and malignant pleural effusion (MPE). Methods Twenty-four samples of tuberculous pleural effusion and 28 samples of malignant pleural effusion were collected and detected the karyocyte cell counting

in TPE was significantly higher than that in MPE. The median concentrations of INF-γ
IL-18
TNF-α and IL-10 in pleural effusion were 942.0

62 pg/ml and 153 pg/ml in TPE
and 10.35
1 763
8.85 pg/ml and 66.85 pg/ml in MPE respectively. The levels of INF-γ
TNF-α and IL-10 in TPE were significantly higher (about 90-fold
7-fold and 2-fold respectively) than that in MPE (P0.01). However
no significant difference of IL-18 was found between the two kinds of pleural effusions (P0.05). The ratio of IL-18 to IL-10 in TPE was markedly lower than that in MPE (P0.01). Conclusion Tuberculous pleural effusion presents a process with Th1-dominant pathogenesis. Malignant pleural effusion presents impaired T help leukomonocytes
Th2-dominant pathogenesis and depressed Th1 immune response
which may contribute to the low cellular immunity in the patients with malignant pleural effusion. INF-γ might be an available indicator to distinguish tuberculous pleural effusion from malignant pleural effusion with high specificity and sensitivity.
