Dear Flowpersons: Is a rise in this ratio from 1.74 to 2.39 (p<0.05) in women a small and unimportant, or a large and important change with serious consequences in the function of their immune systems? Can anyone supply a reference to the importance of different CD4/CD8 ratios on bacterial or viral infectivity or survival during sepsis/infection? Thanks, Steve ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ** Stephen L.
