The use of total lymphocyte count (TLC) as an independent criterion for initiating HAART in resource-poor countries.

Shui-Shan Lee1, Ka-Hing Wong.   

Abstract

Total lymphocyte count (TLC) is a simple marker for monitoring HIV disease in resource-poor setting. A value of 1.2 x 10(9)l(-1) could be used as an independent criterion for starting antiretroviral treatment, since it is highly predictive of a low CD4 count warranting intervention.
