The phrase "a decrease in lymphocyte" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in medical or scientific contexts when discussing changes in lymphocyte levels, often in relation to health or disease.
Example: "The patient's blood test results indicated a decrease in lymphocyte count, which may suggest an underlying immune deficiency."
Alternatives: "a reduction in lymphocytes" or "a drop in lymphocyte levels."
We also recently reported that the increased proportion of Treg observed in sepsis was correlated with a decrease in lymphocyte proliferation [11].
Nevertheless, out of the six patients, five showed a decrease in lymphocyte count and lymph node sizes.
In summary, SBRT for stage I NSCLC induced significant immune suppression that manifested by a decrease in lymphocyte counts and depression of NKA.
From day 1 to day 5, an increased NLCR related to an increase in neutrophil count and a decrease in lymphocyte count was associated with late death (+34.8 % [−8.2 to 305.4] versus −20%% [−57.4 to 45.9]; p = 0.003).
For example, Dean et al. (1984) reported a decrease in monocytes but no other hematology parameter, whereas Vargova et al. (1993) reported an increase in monocytes but a decrease in lymphocyte counts.
In a murine CLP model, treatment resulted in a decrease in lymphocyte apoptosis, but the effect was less marked than that observed in transgenic animals constitutively expressing the same protein (30 ).
During this time a profound increase in erythroid cells was observed, with a decrease in lymphocytes and monocytes (Figs. 2A B).
However, previous reports on ZEBOV infections in unvaccinated animals demonstrate a decrease in lymphocytes possibly due to apoptosis [30] [32].
Granulocytosis at 24 h for TNT and at 48 h for 2,4DNT tended to parallel a decrease in lymphocytes as often occurs with corticosteroid-mediated stress [17].
The total white blood cell counts decreased after 7 days of PbA infection in wild type mice, and this was largely attributed to a decrease in lymphocytes (Figure 5E), while monocyte and neutrophil counts were essentially unaffected (data not shown).
Mice previously-exposed to mosquito feeding develop significantly higher mortality associated with elevation of inflammation, APC recruitment, IL-10 expression in the inoculation site and draining LNs, and LN hyperplasia concurrent with a decrease in lymphocytes chiefly of the CD4+ subtype.
