Altered cell-mediated immunity and increased postoperative infection rate in long-term alcoholic patients

Preoperative alteration of T cell-mediated immunity as well as an altered immune response to surgical stress were found in long-term alcoholic patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate perioperative T cell-mediated immune parameters as well as cytokine release from whole blood cells after lipo...

description Preoperative alteration of T cell-mediated immunity as well as an altered immune response to surgical stress were found in long-term alcoholic patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate perioperative T cell-mediated immune parameters as well as cytokine release from whole blood cells after lipopolysaccharide stimulation and its association with postoperative infections. Fifty-four patients undergoing elective surgery of the aerodigestive tract were included in this prospective observational study. Long-term alcoholic patients (n = 31) were defined as having a daily ethanol consumption of at least 60 g and fulfilling the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders for either alcohol abuse or alcohol dependence. The nonalcoholic patients (n = 23) were defined as drinking less than 60 g ethanol/day. Blood samples to analyze the immune status were obtained on morning before surgery and on the morning of days 1, 3, and 5 after surgery. Basic patient characteristics did not differ between groups. Before surgery, the T helper 1:T helper 2 ratio (Th1: Th2) was significantly lower (P < 0.01), whereas plasma interleukin 1beta and lipopolysaccharide-stimulated interleukin 1ra from whole blood cells were increased in long-term alcoholic patients. After surgery, a significant suppression of the cytotoxic lymphocyte ratio (Tc1:Tc2), the interferon gamma:interleukin 10 ratio from lipopolysaccharide-stimulated whole blood cells, and a significant increase of plasma interleukin 10 was observed. Long-term alcoholics had more frequent postoperative infections compared with nonalcoholic patients (54%vs. 26%; P = 0.03). T helper cell-mediated immunity was significantly suppressed before surgery and possibly led to inadequate cytotoxic lymphocyte and whole blood cell response in long-term alcoholic patients after surgery. This altered cell-mediated immunity might have accounted for the increased infection rate in long-term alcoholic patients after surgery.
