【 摘 要 】

Cigarette smoking has been associated with imbalance in cytokine production by affecting the efficiency of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to secrete cytokines. Smoking may suppress maturation of dendritic cells in the lymph nodes which ultimately suppress function of CD4+ T cells. The present study was intended to know the association of CD3, CD4 count between Smokers and non smokers. CD3 count of smokers and non smokers is 2593.21 ? 212.09 and 2134.29 ? 145.77. CD4 of smokers and non smokers is 1194.94 ? 50.06 and 1119.16 ? 77.77. In our study we didn?? find any statistically significant differences in CD3 and CD4 lymphocyte count between smokers and non-smokers. The other general parameters like blood pressure and chest circumference of smokers and non smokers have also shown no significant difference.?
