Abstract：Objective: To study the functwn of cellular immunity of patients with urticaria.Methods:T-lymphocytes subpopulations of the peripheral blood in 60 patients uith urticaria and 40 healthy controls were examined by flow cytometry. Results: The number of CD3+ and CD4+ cells in the urticaria group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P＜ 0. 01), especially in patients with acute urticaria. Conclusion: There was immunologic dysfunction of T lymphocyte in the patients with urticaria, and not only humoral immunity takes part but also cellular immunity plays a certain role in the pathogenesis of urticaria.
