Abstract

Objective To observe CD~+_4 cell counts' prognostic function in predicting opportunistic infections by analyzing clinical cases;Methods The correlations between CD~+_4 cell counts and opportunistic infections were analyzed among 176 cases of HIV/AIDS.Results Among 114 patients with CD~+_4 cell counts below 200 cells/mm~3,53 had multiple opportunistic infections(46.5%);however,among 62 patients with CD~+_4 cell counts greater than 200 cells/mm~3,only 2 had opportunistic infections(3.2%).Conclusion Since the incidence rate of opportunistic infections varies with different levels of CD~+_4 cell counts,CD~+_4 cell counts can act as a reference indicator in the prevention of opportunistic infections and therefore may help improve the quality of life for people iving with HIV/AIDS.
