Total Lymphocyte Count as a Predictor of Absolute CD4+ Count and CD4+ Percentage in HIV-lnfected Persons

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1993
To determine whether the total lymphocyte count (TLC) accurately predicts a low absolute CD4+ T-cell count and CD4+ percentage in persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).Retrospective analysis of data collected in the US Air Force HIV Natural History Study.Military medical center that performs annual medical evaluation of all HIV ...

Total Lymphocyte Count as a Surrogate for CD4+ Lymphocyte Count in African Patients Coinfected With HIV and Tuberculosis

Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes and Human Retrovirology, 1996
In South Africa researchers compared the concurrent total lymphocyte counts (TLCs) and CD4+ T cell counts of 128 HIV positive patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) with those of 703 HIV positive patients without TB to determine the practicality of TLCs as a marker of severe immunosuppression in patients with HIV and TB.

Bet 2: Estimating CD4+ counts from the absolute lymphocyte count in the ED

Emergency Medicine Journal, 2018
A 37-year-old patient who has never been to your hospital presents for shortness of breath. He reports a history of HIV but is not currently on treatment and does not know his last CD4+ count. His oxygen saturation is 94% on room air, and lung sounds are distant.

A PDMS-based disposable microfluidic sensor for CD4+ lymphocyte counting

Biomedical Microdevices, 2008
A refined sensor for CD4+ lymphocyte count was developed and evaluated by comparison to flow cytometry. The micropillar structured sensor surface was cast in PDMS polymer and surface modified to gain biocompatibility and CD4-cell capturing properties. The sensor works by pure capillary action and sample filling and rinsing is performed without external

An integrated microfluidic system for counting of CD4+/CD8+ T lymphocytes

Microfluidics and Nanofluidics, 2010
This study reports on an integrated microfluidic system capable of counting CD4+/CD8+ T lymphocytes from a whole blood sample, which may be further applied for the rapid screening of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. This system is composed of a sample incubation module for fluorescence-labeling of the target cells and a micro ...

Protracted cutaneous disorders in association with low CD4+ lymphocyte counts

British Journal of Dermatology, 1995
We report two patients with skin disorders usually associated with severe immunosuppression, who had low CD4+ lymphocyte counts but normal immunoglobulin levels. The patients were HIV negative, and had CD4+ lymphocyte counts just above 300/mm3, but they presented with cutaneous manifestations of profound immunodeficiency.

Is total lymphocyte count a reliable predictor of the CD4 lymphocyte cell count in resource-limited settings?

AIDS, 2004
Although the depletion of CD4 T cells remains the most reliable marker for estimating the degree of immunosuppression in HIV-1-infected individuals several authors have investigated the possible prognostic and predictive role offered by total lymphocyte count (TLC) as a surrogate of the CD4 cell count in resource-limited settings (RLS).

Predictive value of repeated measurements of CD4 lymphocyte counts on progression to AIDS

AIDS, 1992
Description of the relationship between repeated measurements of CD4 lymphocyte count and development of AIDS in asymptomatic HIV-infected patients.Repeated measurements of CD4 lymphocyte counts over an AIDS-free period in asymptomatic HIV-infected patients, and follow-up of the cohort to record subsequent clinical progression to AIDS.The cohort was ...

CD4 T‐lymphocyte counts and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in pediatric HIV infection

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1991
The relationship between CD4 T-lymphocyte counts and infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is retrospectively investigated for 266 HIV-infected and uninfected children who were born to infected women, including 39 with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), in a population-based surveillance study. Of 21 perinatally HIV-infected children

Absolute or total lymphocyte count as a marker for the CD4 T lymphocyte criterion for initiating antiretroviral therapy

AIDS, 2003
We analysed simultaneous CD4, absolute (ALC) and total (TLC) lymphocyte counts of 2057 patients. ALC of 1750 cells/μl or less optimized sensitivity and specificity for predicting CD4 cell counts less than 350 cells/pl. ALC sensitivity/ specificity tended to be higher for blacks, patients under 50 years old, and patients with higher plasma HIV-RNA ...
