[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] Low CD*+ with restrictive lung disease.

[CIS-PIDD]

Dr Wiens

Interpreting flow cytometry in autoimmune disease is difficult.  When I do look at patients with SLE their flow is very abnormal and I never know what to do with it.  I wouldn't trust a single flow test.  Flow can be very abnormal in inflamed or infected patients, and is hard to interpret.

Low CD8 is seen in Zap70, although I know of no association with restrictive lung disease.

What is the chronic pneumonia?  Organism? BAL? Lung biopsy? Chronic viral infections?

Ig studies?  Other studies?

Subject: [cis-pidd] Low CD*+ with restrictive lung disease.

To all:
I have a 58 y.o. female with dyspnea and restrictive lung disease (FEV1 40%; FEV1/FVC 99%; FVC 44%) who I am referring to pulmonary for first time evaluation. She also has chronic pneumonia and I obtained lymphocyte panel which shows low CD8. I thought any restrictive lung disease due to scleroderma resulted in elevated CD8? Can this be correlated or am I dealing with 2 separate processes? Thanks in advance for all suggestions.
