I have read your immunophenotyping results - I find them diffcult to interpret.
However, I will give you my best shot:
T-cells : Absolute CD4+ cell numbers are normal, however the CD4:CD8 ratio
is far below normal ( from 1.0 and up), indicating relative CD4+
lymphocytopenia. CD4+% + CD8% = 68%, which is somewhat below the CD3%,
what happened to the rest ? Certainly the percentage of TCR1+ cells
(T-cells not expressing CD4 or CD8) is not 14 %.
I have seen many HIV patients with 10-20% TCR1+ cells and have
varified this with TCR gamma or delta staining.
