Abstract：Objective To explore the expression and significance of CD 4 +CD25 +regulatory T cells ( Treg) for the patients with leucopenia pneumonia ( LP) .Methods Forty patients with LP were enrolled and their blood rou -tine examination ,Treg testing and sputum cultivation were done .The correlations between Treg ,white blood cell ( WBC) and pathogens were analyzed .Results Compared with the control group , Treg, WBC and monocytes (MON) decreased significantly(P<0.05).Sputum cultivation showed that there were 26 patients suffering from my-coplasma(MP) infection and they were all treated with azithromycin .The frequencies of Treg on the 3rd day of the MP patients were significantly higher than those on the 1st day during azithromycin treatment (P=0.028).Correlation a-nalysis showed that Treg was positively related to WBC and MON ( P<0.05 ) , whereas Treg was negatively related to neutrophil granulocyte and lymphocyte , as well as the MP ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusion Decreasing of Treg is one of the important immunological features for patients with LP , which can help the early diagnosis and curative effect evalua-tion for the MP.
