Also known as: TEXTENDED
Use
Useful for assessing primary T-cell immunodeficiency disorders. CD4 and CD8 T-cell levels are critical for categorizing HIV-related clinical conditions. Monitoring these levels assists in initiating prophylaxis and antiviral therapy, and evaluating treatment efficacy as per CDC guidelines. Regular monitoring is essential in HIV-infected individuals and is recommended every 3 to 6 months.
