CD4/CD8 lymphocyte counts in healthy, HIV-positive individuals & AIDS patients.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The enumeration of CD4 and CD8 positive cells, surrogate markers for HIV disease progression, is helpful in management and follow up of immunocompromised HIV-positive patients. In assessing the degree of immune deficiency in HIV-positive patients of a particular region, knowledge of reference range of T-cell subset counts of healthy individuals of that particular region ...
متن کاملRisk factors associated with low CD4+ lymphocyte count among HIV-positive pregnant women in Nigeria.
OBJECTIVE To determine the risk factors for CD4+ lymphocyte counts of 200 cells/mm(3) or lower in HIV-positive pregnant women in Nigeria. METHOD A cross-sectional data analysis from a prospective cohort of 515 HIV-positive women attending a prenatal clinic. Risk of a low CD4+ count was estimated using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS CD4+ lymphocyte counts of 200 cells/mm(3) or lower (...
متن کاملDiscordance between CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts and percentages in HIV-infected persons with liver fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Cirrhosis of the liver can induce splenic sequestration of peripheral blood cells, recently suggested to reduce the number but not percentage of circulating CD4(+) T cells in persons uninfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We investigated whether earlier stages of liver fibrosis prior to cirrhosis were associated with discordance between CD4 count (CD4N) and CD4 percentag...
متن کاملSpectrum of Opportunistic Fungal Infections in HIV-Infected Patients and Their Correlation with CD4+ Counts in Western India
Introduction : The decreased level of immunity in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected patients increases their vulnerability to various opportunistic fungal infections. Oral candidiasis has been found to be the most common fungal infection among HIV infected patients. The present study was conducted to evaluate the spectrum of various opportunistic fungal infections and their correlat...
متن کاملRestoring Cytokine Balance in HIV-Positive Individuals with Low CD4 T Cell Counts
HIV infects and destroys CD4+ T cells leading to a compromised immune system. In a double-blinded study, a group of HIV-infected individuals with CD4+ T cell counts below 350 cells/mm3 were given either an empty liposomal supplement or a liposomal glutathione (L-GSH) supplement to take over a 3-month period. Baseline measurements in HIV-positive subjects show a significant decrease in levels of...
