CD4+ cell counts in patients with different clinical manifestations of tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis is the prototype of infections that require a cellular immune response for their control. It has been shown that CD4+ T-lymphocytes are most important in the protective response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. CD8+ T-lymphocytes are also important for effective T-cell immune response. This study compares CD4+ and CD8+ baseline values in patients with different manifestations of...

متن کاملClinical Correlation of Oral Manifestations In HIV Seropositive Patients With CD4+ Cell, CD8+Cell Counts And CD4+/CD8+ Ratio
The Aim of this study was to investigate the correlation of oral lesions in HIV positive patients with their CD4, CD8 cell count and CD4/CD8 ratio. 150 HIV seropositive patients of any age and sex were evaluated. Then analyses of data obtained were revealed Pseudo membranous candidiasis (P-0.0043) was the most common variant, mostly seen when CD8 count was increased (>500 cells/mm, P-0.05) and ...
