Abstract:
:There has been a growing body of evidence suggesting that CD4+ Th1/Th2 cell responses participate in pathologic and immunologic processes in infectious disease. Bacterial meningitis is a fatal disease of children and is associated with a spectrum of clinical syndromes. This study provides evidence of CD4+ enhanced interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-6 but decreased IL-2 and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production, the induction of characteristic Th2 cell response cytokines in bacterial meningitis, which may play an important role in disease mechanism. Additionally, monocyte-induced enhanced IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha production may be associated with distinct clinical features such as fever, seizures, and neurological sequelae. A striking finding was also the highly deficient monocyte-induced granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor production. Of particular interest, the CD(8+)-enhanced IFN-gamma production may be required for the cytolytic activity or protective response to be maintained in this disease. Taken together, these data reveal that monocytes and CD4+ (Th2) and CD8+ subsets produce distinct cytokines in bacterial meningitis, which may exert an immunoregulatory and immunopathologic effect and thus mediate some of the clinical manifestations of the disease.
