Clinical deterioration in community acquired infections associated with lymphocyte upsurge in immunocompetent hosts [PDF]
Clinical deterioration during the course of community-acquired infections can occur as a result of an exaggerated immune response of the host towards the inciting pathogens, leading to immune-mediated tissue damage.

Predictive value of lymphocytopenia and the neutrophil-lymphocyte count ratio for severe imported malaria [PDF]
Background: Lymphocytopenia has frequently been described in patients with malaria, but studies on its association with disease severity have yielded conflicting results. The neutrophil/lymphocyte count ratio (NLCR) has been introduced as a parameter for

Predictors of change in CD4 lymphocyte count and weight among HIV infected patients on anti-retroviral treatment in Ethiopia: a retrospective longitudinal study. [PDF]
Antiretroviral treatment (ART) has been introduced in Ethiopia a decade ago and continues to be scaled up. However, there is dearth of literature on the impact of ART on changes in CD4 lymphocyte count and weight among patients on treatment.To determine ...

Leukocyte count and two-part differential in whole blood based on a portable microflow cytometer [PDF]
This work demonstrated leukocyte count and two-part leukocyte differential from the whole blood based on a portable microflow cytometer system. Leukocytes are selectively stained with a fluorescent dye, Acridine Orange (AO).

Peripheral blood lymphocyte/monocyte ratio at diagnosis and survival in classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Background Lymphopenia and tumor-associated macrophages are negative prognostic factors for survival in classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma. We, therefore, studied whether the peripheral blood absolute lymphocyte count/absolute monocyte count ratio at diagnosis

The folate receptor-positive circulating tumor cell (FR+-CTC) count can be used to improve the diagnosis rate of lung cancer. The lymphocyte count (LC) and derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR) are involved in inflammatory processes.
