CD4+ Lymphocyte Count

CD4 Lymphocytes are T cells (helper cells), produced primarily in the thymus, and play a significant role in cellular immunity.

A drop in CD4 lymphoctes accompanies the transition from an HIV positive state to AIDS.

 

 

 

Normal Values*

CD4 Helper cells (relative) 34-67%

*These are general values taken from a variety of sources. The actual normal values may vary from lab to lab and from one type of testing protocol to another.
