Comparing absolute lymphocyte count to total lymphocyte count, as a CD4 T cell surrogate, to initiate antiretroviral therapy

Journal of Global Infectious Diseases, 2011
Background: The high cost of CD4 count estimation in resource-limited settings is a major obstacle in initiating patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Thus, there is a need to evaluate other less expensive surrogate markers like total

Prediction of CD4+ T lymphocyte count in HIV patients from their total leukocyte count and previous CD4+ counts

HIV & AIDS Review. International Journal of HIV-Related Problems
Introduction CD4+ T lymphocyte count is a high-cost para-clinical test, essential for follow-up of human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients.

Physics of a rapid CD4 lymphocyte count with colloidal gold [PDF]

Cytometry Part A, 2011
AbstractThe inherent surface charges and small diameters that confer colloidal stability to gold particle conjugates (immunogold) are detrimental to rapid cell surface labeling and distinct cluster definition in flow cytometric light scatter assays.

Predictions of CD4 lymphocytes’ count in HIV patients from complete blood count [PDF]

BMC Medical Physics, 2013
يتطلب تشخيص فيروس نقص المناعة البشرية والتنبؤ به وعلاجه عدد الخلايا الليمفاوية T CD4 من قياس التدفق الخلوي، وهي تقنية باهظة الثمن غالبًا ما لا تتوفر للأشخاص في البلدان النامية. الهدف من هذا العمل هو تطبيق منهجية مطورة سابقة تتنبأ بقيمة الخلايا الليمفاوية التائية CD4 بناءً على إجمالي عدد خلايا الدم البيضاء (WBC) وعدد الخلايا الليمفاوية التي تطبق نظرية ...

CD4+ T-Lymphocyte Count/CD8+ T-Lymphocyte Count Ratio: Surrogate for HIV Infection in Infants? [PDF]

Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 2012
Early diagnosis and treatment is necessary to prevent HIV-infected infants progressing to AIDS. Antibody testing is not confirmatory before the age of 18 months and PCR not widely available in resource-poor settings. We studied the accuracy of CD4(+) T-lymphocyte count, CD4% and CD4/CD8 ratio as surrogate markers of infant HIV infection.Two hundred and

Absolute Lymphocyte Count Is Not a Suitable Alternative to CD4 Count for Determining Initiation of Antiretroviral Therapy in Fiji

Journal of Tropical Medicine, 2014
Introduction. An absolute lymphocyte count is commonly used as an alternative to a CD4 count to determine initiation of antiretroviral therapy for HIV-infected individuals in Fiji when a CD4 count is unavailable. Methods.
