Table 1. Flow cytometric lymphocyte subset enumeration and quantitation of immunoglobulin.
Immunoglobulin panel | Pre-IVIG, g/L | Post-IVIG, g/L* | Adult reference value, g/L |
---|---|---|---|
IgG | 3.76 | 7.92 | 7.00–16.00 |
IgA | 0.18 | 0.17 | 0.70–4.00 |
IgM | 0.40–2.30 | ||
* Immunoglobulin panel was repeated 12 months after IVIG monthly replacement. IVIG – intravenous immunoglobulin; Ig – immunoglobulin. | |||
Lymphocyte subset enumeration | Pre-IVIG, % (×106/L) | Post-IVIG, % (×106/L) | Adult reference value, % (×106/L) |
Total B cells | 0 (1) | 0 (0) | 5–22 (130–716) |
Total T cells | 93 (1258) | 96 (1574) | 53–80 (988–3912) |
Th cells (CD4) | 25 (358) | 16 (278) | 19–46 (431–1976) |
Tc cells (CD8) | 64 (920) | 75 (1302) | 17–49 (385–1805) |
