Objective To determine the diversity between the different types of pulmonary tuberculosis, a retrospective analysis was made on the characteristics of medical history, blood indicators and the characteristics of peripheral T cell subsets of these patients. Methods The data of 283 pulmonary tuberculosis patients with full information were analyzed in the Eighth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021, who had definite diagnosis, neither diabetes nor drug resistance, and were all on the initial treatment. The patients were divided into four groups: secondary pulmonary tuberculosis group (PTB group, 186 cases), tracheal and bronchial tuberculosis group (BTB group, 23 cases), tuberculous pleurisy group (TBP group, 42 cases) and hematogenous disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis group (DTB group, 32 cases). The patients' general conditions, medical history characteristics, laboratory indicators and T cell subsets, etc. were analyzed comparatively. Results There were no statistical differences in the age, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), leukocyte count, lymphocyte count and hemoglobin level of patients between PTB group, BTB group, TBP group and DTB group(P>0.05). Compared with other groups, the proportion of men (34.8%) and the smoking rate (8.8%) were lower, and the disease course was longer (only 39.1% for the patients less than 3 months) in BTB group (P<0.05); the platelet count [308.00(242.00, 432.75.00)×109/L] and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) level [69.10(40.94, 185.40) U/ml] were higher, the albumin level[34.50(29.60, 39.20) g/L] was lower, and the disease course was shorter (88.1% for the patients less than 3 months) in TBP group;the NK cell count [70.00(33.50, 218.50) cells/μl] and NK cell percentage [7.09%(4.38%, 11.87%)] were lower in DTB group;the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions Male patients are more likely to suffer from TBP and female patients are more likely to suffer from BTB. Platelet counts and CA125 level are higher in patients with TBP, while the counts and proportion of NK cells are lower in patients with DTB.
