What is the correlation with HIV and CD4 cells?
After infection, the CD4 count measured in blood generally reduces in the first month or two and then recovers, but not to the pre-infection level. Then, usually over many years the CD4 count reduces until HIV advances to cause symptoms. Anti-retroviral treatment stops the decline in CD4 cells which then usually recover and get stronger again. With HIV there is a lot of individual variability in how fast this takes. Some people need treatment soon after infection and other can still have a strong CD4 count after 15 years without treatment.

What does a white blood cell count mean in someone with leukemia if the normal range is meant to be 7000?
AnswerA white blood cell count (WBC, or WBC Count) is used to determine the stage and/or type of cancer (usually Leukemia) that is being dealt with in a patient.My friend's son has Acute Myeloid Leukemia and has had a blood cell count of OVER 200,000 on more than one occasion, 150,000 count just a few months back.The normal range is about 4-10,000. Over that might mean a bacterial infection, it does not mean that you have cancer cells in your body.If a doctor has ordered another WBC after you have already been diagnosed with Leukemia, and/or after a Chemotherapy treatment.. then he is checking to see if the chemicals had any effect on the cancer cells. If not, then more chemotherapy and/or bone marrow transplant will be done. Experimental drugs are a possibility, as are harsh combinations of chemicals.The White Cell count is a determination of the ability of the immune system to fight infection. People with very low white counts are susceptable to illness mush easier than persons with normal counts. Very high counts can indiocate an ongoing infection in the body or a leukemic condition. Most leukemia patients have a decrease in white counts. The damaged stem cells that cause the Leukemia do not produce the correct anamounts of these important cells.Fatigue as in mononucleosis is cause by too many white cells but Mono is gernerally benign and goes away after rest. It is cause by the Epstein-Barr virus and in most cases, the EB virus goes away in a few years of the inset of Mono.
