Lack of correlation between total lymphocyte count and nutritional status in the elderly
Clinical Nutrition, 2005Malnutrition is a widespread but largely unrecognized problem in aged people. Although absolute total lymphocyte count (TLC) has been proposed as a useful indicator of nutritional status, there is little evidence that low TLC levels reflect malnutrition in the elderly.

Total lymphocyte counts and ART in resource-limited settings
The Lancet, 2005The widespread implementation of programmes for antiretroviral therapy (ART) has dramatically reduced AIDS-related morbidity and mortality in the developed world which has created a moral imperative to bring ART programmes to areas in the developing world with a high prevalence of HIV.

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).

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.

A STUDY ON TOTAL LYMPHOCYTE COUNT AND CD4 COUNT IN HIV AFFECTED PATIENTS
International Journal of Biological Studies, 2022Purpose: The study aimed to assess the total lymphocyte count and CD4 count in HIV affected patients. Methodology: The approach we used in this study was to gather and analyze a wide range of research articles. Findings: Worldwide estimates of people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus was approximately 32 million in 2007 with ...

Total lymphocyte count and in-hospital mortality in older persons with multimorbidity
Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, 2008Low total lymphocyte count (TLC) has been found to be a poor prognostic factor in adults affected by heart diseases, malignancy, and renal failure. The aims of this study were to verify if a low TLC was associated with in-hospital mortality in older persons and to evaluate whether this association was independent of the presence of multiple co-existing

AIDS, 2003
We investigated whether the onset of rapid declines in total lymphocyte counts and hemoglobin levels might be useful for staging HIV disease and initiating antiretroviral therapy. Using data from the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study, we found that accelerated declines in both markers generally precede AIDS by 1.2 years and occur when the CD4 lymphocyte ...

Total blood lymphocyte count as a prognostic factor among unselected inpatients
Advances in Medical Sciences, 2020The aim of this study was to determine the relationships between total lymphocyte count (TLC) and prognosis among inpatients.We retrospectively analyzed data from electronic medical documentation of 54 976 inpatients hospitalized in an urban university hospital during 3 consecutive years (2014-2017).TLC was available for 12 651 (23.01%) of the ...

Decreased Total Lymphocyte Counts in Pancreatic Cancer: An Index of Adverse Outcome
Pancreas, 2006An impaired host immunity might concur in determining the dismal prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer (PC). Our aim was to ascertain whether the immunophenotype pattern of blood lymphocytes in PC correlates with tumor stage, grade, or survival.We studied 115 patients with PC, 44 with chronic pancreatitis (CP), 23 with tumors of the pancreatico ...

Total Lymphocyte Count: A Promising Prognostic Index of Mortality in Patients on CAPD
Peritoneal Dialysis International: Journal of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis, 2000Objective In view of the limitations of albumin in peritoneal dialysis (PD), we set out to evaluate whether total lymphocyte counts (TLC) could serve as a better prognostic indicator. We were also interested in how these parameters might differ between PD and hemodialysis (HD) patients.
