description Objectives The potentially different effects of commonly used anaesthetic agents propofol and sevoflurane on T-cell immune function and Th cell differentiation were investigated in patients with severe mycoplasmal pneumonia (SMPP) undergoing fibreoptic bronchoscopy.Methods Sixty children (2–12 years of age) with SMPP were randomized into the sevoflurane group and the propofol group. Patients in the sevoflurane group were anaesthetised with inhalational sevoflurane and intravenous remifentanil. Patients in the propofol group were anaesthetised with intravenous propofol and remifentanil. Patients in both groups underwent fibreoptic bronchoscopy and lavage therapy. We compared the clinical outcomes, cellular immunity function, and Th cell differentiation into Th1 and Th2 levels in both groups.Results There was no significant difference in clinical outcomes and hospital stay between the two groups (7.94 vs 7.36, p > .05). However, the CD3+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, and CD4+/CD8+ in the propofol group were significantly higher than those in the sevoflurane group (T1 51.96 vs 48.33, T2 58.08 vs 55.31, p < .05). The ratio of Th1/Th2 in the two groups was significantly increased postoperatively in both groups (Sevoflurane 8.53 vs 7.23, Propofol 9.35 vs 7.18), and the propofol group was significantly higher than the sevoflurane group (9.35 vs 8.53, p < .05).Conclusions Propofol might have a less inhibitory effect on T lymphocytes in children with SMPP than sevoflurane. And propofol may have less impact on the differentiation of Th cells into Th1 cells and better preserving the Th1/Th2 ratio than sevoflurane. KEY MESSAGESThe pathogenesis of SMPP is still unclear, likely through alveolar infiltration with neutrophils and lymphocytes, lymphocyte/plasma cell infiltrates in the peri-bronchovascular area, and immune dysfunction.Recent experimental and clinical studies showed that sevoflurane might have immunosuppressive effects, and multiple studies confirmed that the immune function of children with SMPP had been reduced.This study found that propofol administered in children with SMPP had a less inhibitory effect on T lymphocytes than inhalational sevoflurane, had little inhibitory effect on the differentiation of Th cells into Th1 cells, and better preserve Th1/Th2 ratio and maintain the balanced immune function.
