The rate of CD4 decline as a determinant of progression to AIDS independent of the most recent CD4 count [PDF]

, 1998
The data of two cohort studies of HIV-infected individuals were used to examine whether the rate of CD4 decline is a determinant of HIV progression, independent of the most recent CD4 count.

Microfluidic Assays for CD4 T Lymphocyte Counting: A Review

Biosensors
CD4 T lymphocytes play a key role in initiating the adaptive immune response, releasing cytokines that mediate numerous signal transduction pathways across the immune system. Therefore, CD4 T cell counts are widely used as an indicator of overall immunological health. HIV, one of the leading causes of death in the developing world, specifically targets

Comparison of Standard and Point-of-Care CD4+ T Lymphocyte Measurement Methods in HIV-1 Infected Turkish Patients

Medicina
Background and Objectives: CD4+ T lymphocytes are the primary targets of HIV infection. CD4+ T lymphocyte count is an indicator of immune competence. In this study, we aimed to compare standard flow cytometry and point-of-care (POC) CD4+ T lymphocyte in ...

Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia in Patients with Nephrotic Syndrome: Application of Lymphocyte Subset Analysis in Predicting Clinical Outcomes

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2020
Purpose. With immunosuppressants being widely used, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) has been increasing and could be life-threatening among HIV-negative patients. This study aimed at identifying prognostic factors of PCP in patients with nephrotic

Use of Total Lymphocyte Count to Predict Absolute CD4 Count in HIV-Seropositive Cases [PDF]

Journal of the International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care, 2010
We conducted an observational study to assess the use of total lymphocyte counts (TLC) alone and along with hemoglobin (Hb) as a predictor of CD4 count. A total of 103 antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naive HIV-1-infected patients were enrolled and divided in 2 groups (with CD4 count <200 cells/mm 3

CD4 lymphocyte count: A barometer for HIV/AIDS management

North American Journal of Medical Sciences, 2012
It is probably not a news to say that HIV/AIDS is yet to have a cure and that the dreaded virus can be managed effectively with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). What is however new is the fact that the point of initiating the management regimen in Africa may likely be different from others elsewhere in the globe if your article recently ...
