The percentage of T4 and T8 positive cells in peripheral blood of 78 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 26 patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) was determined using a rosette technique. The T4/T8 ratio +/- SEM (standard error of the mean) in the RA patients was increased, 2.02 +/- 0.09, as compared with normal blood donors, 1.71 +/- 0.06 (p less than 0.02). The subgroups of RA patients who had a significantly increased T4/T8 ratio were ANA positive patients (p less than 0.02) and patients on no medication (p less than 0.05). In the total group of JRA patients the T4/T8 ratio was 2.01 +/- 0.12 versus 1.75 +/- 0.08 in controls (p = 0.061). Polyarticular JRA patients had an increased T4/T8 ratio as compared with controls (p less than 0.05) while patients with the pauciarticular form had a normal ratio (p greater than 0.10). No correlation between the T4/T8 ratio and a disease outcome index, a laboratory activity index, ESR, WBC, platelet count, hemoglobin, serum albumin, age and disease duration was found (K less than +/- 0.20, p greater than 0.10).

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D010641	Phenotype	The outward appearance of the individual. It is the product of interactions between genes, and between the GENOTYPE and the environment.	Phenotypes
D005260	Female		Females
D006377	T-Lymphocytes, Helper-Inducer	Subpopulation of CD4+ lymphocytes that cooperate with other lymphocytes (either T or B) to initiate a variety of immune functions. For example, helper-inducer T-cells cooperate with B-cells to produce antibodies to thymus-dependent antigens and with other subpopulations of T-cells to initiate a variety of cell-mediated immune functions.

D000974	Antibodies, Antinuclear	Autoantibodies directed against various nuclear antigens including DNA, RNA, histones, acidic nuclear proteins, or complexes of these molecular elements. Antinuclear antibodies are found in systemic autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome, scleroderma, polymyositis, and mixed connective tissue disease.

D001171	Arthritis, Juvenile	Arthritis in children, with onset before 16 years of age. The terms juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) refer to classification systems for chronic arthritis in children. Only one subtype of juvenile arthritis (polyarticular-onset, rheumatoid factor-positive) clinically resembles adult rheumatoid arthritis and is considered its childhood equivalent.

D001172	Arthritis, Rheumatoid	A chronic systemic disease, primarily of the joints, marked by inflammatory changes in the synovial membranes and articular structures, widespread fibrinoid degeneration of the collagen fibers in mesenchymal tissues, and by atrophy and rarefaction of bony structures. Etiology is unknown, but autoimmune mechanisms have been implicated.	Rheumatoid Arthritis
