[Cefodizime increases peripheral blood CD4/CD8 and Th1/Th2 ratios in senile patients with bacterial pneumonia].

Objective: To explore the influence of cefodizime on CD4/CD8 and T helper 1(Th1)/Th2 cell ratios in peripheral blood of the senile patients with bacterial pneumonia.

Methods: Sixty-three senile patients with bacterial pneumonia were enrolled and divided into two groups randomly. Patients in the control group (n=31) were given intravenous infusion of ceftriaxone sodium, and patients in the observation group (n=32) were given intravenous infusion of cefodizime.
