Question

A client has a positive elisa test. On examination, the client is found to have fever, weight loss, and candida infections. The client also complains of night sweats. What would be the cd4 levels?

Answer 1

The answer is 200 cells per microliter

Fever, weight loss, and candida infections are symptoms of immunodeficiency. These symptoms only appear if the level of CD4+ count is below normal, resulting in disruption of the immune cells work. The threshold level of CD4 count to cause immunodeficiency symptoms is 200 cells per microliter.
