Abstract:
It is considered that lymphocyte T4 count less than 200/mm3 is a marker of AIDS. Participants in this study were 208 persons with HIV infection. They were followed up from detecting HIV infection to death. These subjects were divided into groups A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, C3 using CDC classification. Criterion of T4200 showed the level of immune depression and reflected the life quality of HIV patients. It can be considered a reasonable criterion to classify HIV patients into AIDS stage
