correlation between total lymphocyte count, hemoglobin, hematocrit and cd4 count in hiv/aids patients
lymphocyte cd4 + count, a standard laboratory test for staging of hiv infection, is expensive and unavailable in resource-restricted countries. total lymphocyte count (tlc) and hemoglobin (hb) are recommended as simple & inexpensive surrogates. the aim of this study was to assess the correlation, sensitivity and predictive power of these parameters as substitutes for cd 4 count. one hundred hiv...

متن کاملTotal lymphocyte count as a surrogate marker for CD4 count in resource-limited settings
BACKGROUND CD4 testing is the recognized gold standard used to stage HIV/AIDS, guide treatment decisions for HIV-infected persons and evaluate effectiveness of therapy. The need for a less expensive surrogate marker that can be used in resource-limited setting is however necessary. The study sought to assess the suitability of Total lymphocyte count (TLC) as a surrogate marker for CD4 count in ...
متن کاملEvaluating Total Lymphocyte Count as a Surrogate Marker for CD4 Cell Count in the Management of HIV-Infected Patients in Resource-Limited Settings: A Study from China
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the correlation of total lymphocyte count (TLC) and CD4 cell count and the suitability of TLC as a surrogate marker for CD4 cell count of HIV-infected patients in China. METHODS Usefulness of TLC as a surrogate marker for a CD4 cell count <350 cells/mm(3) for HIV-positive patients in China was evaluated by 977 pairs of TLC and CD4 cell count from 977 outpatients. The res...
متن کاملTotal lymphocyte count: a surrogate marker for predicting CD4+ count in enrolled process for antiretroviral therapy in resource-limited settings.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the correlation between total lymphocyte count (TLC) and CD4+ count and TLC cut-off for predicting CD4+ count < 200 cells/mm3. MATERIAL AND METHOD The 176-naïve HIV-infected patients from the OPD Khon Kaen Hospital, were recruited for CD4+ count by flow cytometer and TLC by automated cell counter. All results were analyzed by STATA st...
