Correlation between blood routine indicators and CD4+ T cell count in AIDS patients without antiviral therapy

Abstract

Objective To study the correlation between the blood routine indicators and CD4+ T, CD8+ T lymphocytes in AIDS patients without antiviral treatment, and to find a simple, cheap and effective monitoring indicator. Methods A study of 333 AIDS patients without antiviral treatment was performed.The methods of regression analysis and other statistical methods were applied to research the correlation between WBC, W-SCC and CD4+ T, CD8+ T cell count among HIV/AIDS. Results The rate of routine blood abnormalities among 333 HIV/AIDS patients was very high, the main test indicators within the reference range only accounted for 30.63%.The proportion of late diagnosis infected with HIV among women was higher than that of males.Significant correlations were observed between CD4+ Tcell count and WBC, W-SCC, W-LCC, RBC, HGB, PLT(r=0.408, 0.541, 0.157, 0.337, 0.338, 0.166). The equation between W-SCC (x) and CD4+ cell count (y) was y=120.913x+ 90.339. Conclusion There is a strong correlation between CD4+ T lymphocyte count and lymphocyte count in AIDS patients without antiviral treatment.It can be used as an important indicator of immune status in patients with AIDS.At the same time, we should strengthen the propaganda of AIDS prevention, promote AIDS early detection, early treatment, and improve the quality of life of AIDS patients.
