The proportions of T-B cells of peripheral lymphocytes in DLE patients as well as the effect of chloroquine treatment on T cell count were studied. In DLE, both the active and the total rosette-forming cell counts decreased, whereas the B cell count did not differ from normal values. Long-term chloroquine administration causes a further reduction in T cell count.
