Lab error Aug 11, 2012 Hi Doc, I'm just writing to enquire if labs can get the cd4 and cd8 mixed up. Basically, I went to my nearest clinic and got the result: CD4 1880 55% and CD8 660 19% CD4/CD8=2.9 A month later I went to a clinic 200 miles from my home and got the result:CD4 822 57.5% and CD8 245 17.5% CD4/CD8=3.36 I'm suffering from worsening seb derm so I'm concerned the test could be giving out inverted results in both places I got tested. Could this be a possibility? |

 Possible, but you don't indicate with your HIV viral load level is, or whether you are on HIV treatment or not to understand whether that could be affecting the numbers. | ||||||||
