		Cd4 Oct 24, 2009 Hola Dr. Natterstad: la verdad que su explicacion sobre los cd3 cd4 cd8, no termina de aclararme nada. Por que solo se le da importancia a los cd4..? El sistema inmunologico es tan simple que solo hay que prestarle atencion a los cd4..? No es un sistema automodulador...? POrque razon muchas veces bajan los cd4 y suben los cd8...? Porque hay personas que tienen dos cd4 y estan sanas..? muchas gracias W.


Advertisement Respuesta del Dr. Natterstad Hola "W," Siento mucho que te dejara confuso. No quise dar la impresi�n que el sistema inmunol�gico es simple o que no hay otras c�lulas importantes de este sistema aparte de los CD4. Sin embargo, ten en cuenta el prop�sito de este sitio. No es proveer una cartilla sobre el campo complejo de inmunolog�a, sino informaci�n pr�ctica para las personas infectadas y afectadas por VIH. Por tanto, mantengo que los resultados m�s relevantes cl�nicamente y m�s dignos de nuestra atenci�n son los CD4, el porcentaje de CD4 y la carga viral. Espero que esta explicaci�n te fuera �til.
