Alterations in peripheral blood lymphocyte subpopulations have been demonstrated in many diseases in which plasmapheresis, together with glucocorticosteroids or other immunosuppressive drugs, are therapeutic alternatives. To investigate apheresis-induced modifications, lymphocyte subsets were monitored in eight patients receiving such treatment, with particular attention to changes in OKT4/T8 (helper/suppressor) ratios. The results suggest the possibility that treatment-induced changes in peripheral blood lymphocyte subpopulations are responsible for a normalization of the T4/T8 ratio in patients with abnormal starting values.
