The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1992 A simple, inexpensive alternative to CD4 counts would facilitate the management of asymptomatic and early symptomatic patients with HIV infection. In this report, a high correlation was found between CD4 counts and total lymphocyte counts calculated from complete blood counts in a cohort of ambulatory HIV-infected patients.

Relative lymphocyte count as an indicator of 3-year mortality in elderly people with severe COPD
BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2018 Background Prognostic stratification of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is difficult due to the wide inter-individual variability in the course of the disease.

Preoperative lymphocyte count in relation to sarcoma prognosis [PDF]
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2019 Purpose: Inflammation plays a major role in tumour development, progression and metastasis. Multiple inflammatory markers such as absolute lymphocyte count, neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte–monocyte ratio (LMR) and platelet–lymphocyte ratio have been discovered as prognostic markers for various malignancies.

Absolute lymphocyte count as a marker for CD4 lymphocyte count: criterion for initiating antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected Nigerians [PDF]
Retrovirology, 2009 Few laboratories in resource-constrained countries can afford to perform laboratory-monitoring tests required for the implementation of HIV therapy. In this case control study, we have investigated the relevance of absolute lymphocyte count as a surrogate marker for CD4 lymphocyte count as a criterion for initiating HAARTin HIV-infected Nigerians.A ...

Low lymphocyte count and high monocyte count predicts poor prognosis of gastric cancer
BMC Gastroenterology, 2018 Background Existing data about the prognostic value of absolute count of blood cells in gastric cancer was limited. Thus, the present study aims to investigate the prognostic value of absolute count of white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil, lymphocyte ...

Early decrease in blood lymphocyte count is associated with poor prognosis in COVID-19 patients: a retrospective cohort study [PDF]
BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2023 Background Previous studies have declared that baseline lymphocyte count is associated with COVID-19-related death. However, whether dynamic lymphocyte change over time affects prognosis in COVID-19 patients is unknown. This study aims to investigate the

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
