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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Correlation of Total Lymphocyte Count with CD4 Count in HIV/AIDS Patients

open access: yesJournal Of Medicine & Health, 2015
HIV infection is a chronic infection of the immune system with a target of CD4 cells. Total lymphocyte count (TLC) can be done in resource-limited areas and are able to be used as a substitute to CD4 count. An increase in CD8 count can disturb the correlation between CD4 and TLC especially during the late clinical stage.Objective of this research is to

The CD4+ T-lymphocyte count is an important predictor for the prognosis of cryptococcosis [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2016
There is great heterogeneity of immunity among patients with cryptococcosis, and severe immunodeficiency can lead to negative clinical outcomes. Underlying disease is a poor surrogate for immune status and inferior in predicting an individual's prognosis.

open access: yes, 2006
BACKGROUND: Patients accessing antiretroviral treatment (ART) programmes in sub-Saharan Africa frequently have very advanced immunodeficiency. Previous data suggest that such patients may have diminished capacity for CD4 cell count recovery.
