Total lymphocyte count as a surrogate marker for CD4 count in resource-limited settings [PDF]
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2012 CD4 testing is the recognized gold standard used to stage HIV/AIDS, guide treatment decisions for HIV-infected persons and evaluate effectiveness of therapy. The need for a less expensive surrogate marker that can be used in resource-limited setting is however necessary.

Total Lymphocyte Count as a Nutritional Parameter in Hospitalized Patients [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Nowadays, there are still many malnourished patients during hospitalization, which comprises around 45-50% patients. Malnutrition is related to increased mortality and morbidity rate; therefore, nutritional state should be assessed in ...

Predictive value of lymphocytopenia and the neutrophil-lymphocyte count ratio for severe imported malaria [PDF]
, 2013 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

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.

CD4 and total lymphocyte counts as predictors of HIV disease progression [PDF]
QJM, 1996 CD4+ T-lymphocyte (CD4) counts are a standard laboratory marker of disease progression in HIV infection, but expense precludes their use in large parts of the world. Total lymphocyte counts (TLC), in contrast, are widely available. We compared CD4 and TLC counts as predictors of developing AIDS or death in 831 HIV-positive out-patients (582 males and ...

Use of Total Lymphocyte Count for Monitoring Response to Antiretroviral Therapy [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2004 The CD4 cell count has become a key laboratory measurement in the management of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease. In ideal situations, HIV-infected persons are followed up longitudinally with serial CD4 cell counts to determine disease progression, risk for opportunistic infection, and the need for prophylactic or therapeutic intervention ...

Evaluating total lymphocyte counts as a substitute for CD4 counts in the follow up of AIDS patients [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2007 This study evaluated total lymphocyte count (TLC) as a substitute marker for CD4+ cell counts to identify patients who need prophylaxis against opportunistic infection (CD4 < 200 cells/mm(3)) and patients with CD4 < 350 cells/mm(3) (Brazilian threshold value of CD4 count to define AIDS).

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/mm3 and CD4 count ≥200 cells/mm3).
