CD4 CONT

The CD4 count, which typically falls between 500 to 1500 cells/mm^3, acts as a pivotal gauge for immune system vitality. A substantial decrease below 200 cells/mm^3 serves as a pivotal sign for diagnosing Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) in cases where treatment has not been initiated. This decline signals a compromised immune system, heightening susceptibility to opportunistic infections and diseases. Monitoring and sustaining CD4 counts within the normal range are crucial in assessing immune function, guiding effective treatment plans to bolster overall well-being.
