Abstract

The purpose of the study was to examine the difference in the number of NK-cells in various forms of pulmonary tuberculosis. During the examined 124 people, of which 99 - have had a form of pulmonary tuberculosis, 25 - were practically healthy people. The study was performed by flow cytometry Coulter Epics XL (BeckmanCoulter, USA). Statistical analysis was performed with the use of programs Statistica for Windows v.6.1. It has been established that the presence of lung tuberculoma is associated with a decrease in the number of NK-cells compared to healthy people by 20 %. Reduced tuberculoma activity is accompanied by lowering of the agreed amount NK-cells by an average factor of two.
