[sci.med.aids] MEANING OF BLOOD WORK

Tony.@visa.UCAR.EDU (Tony @visa) (09/11/89)

One of my friends who is HIV+ has had blood work done every few months for the  
past couple of years.  Today his doctor called him with the results and the lab  
gave a completely different breakdown than before.  In his previous tests he  
was given white cell, T-cell and B-cell counts.  The new test gave him white  
cell, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD16 and CD19 counts.  What do these new breakdowns mean?   
What are normal results?  At what point is medical and/or pharmaceutical  
intervention suggested for the different categories?  Thanks for any info you  
can give (which I will pass along).
