Abstract A retrospective review of diagnosis of cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) before and after introduction of routine immediate eye examination among AIDS patients in Myanmar with an absolute CD4 T-cell count &lt;100 cells/μL demonstrated an increased detection of CMVR from 1.1% (14/1233) to 10.7% (65/608), an improvement of ~10-fold. Diagnosis of CMVR was achieved a mean of 2 days after clinic enrollment.

Cd4 T Cell Count

Background: HIV destroys the CD4+T cells progressively thus making the HIV infected persons susceptible to a number of opportunistic infections (OIs).Methods: The study was conducted in the Medicine Department and ART Centre, VIMSAR. It is a prospective study from July 2016 to September 2017.Results: 86 patients register, detail history, clinical examination and investigation were done and then the data is complying in detail. Most of the patients were male (72%) male female ratio is 2.6:1. The majority of patients presented with fever, weight loss and anorexia seen in more than 73% of the study population.Conclusions: (42%) cases belonged to the CD4+T cell count range of 101-200/µl with aCD4+T cell count of 183/µl, so there is increased chance of hospitalization in patients having CD4+T cell count below 200/µl. The most common OI was tuberculosis (51%) with pleural effusion as its commonest manifestation. The second most common OI was candidiasis (43%) with most cases suffering from oral candidiasis was seen to occur at higher CD4+T cell counts than tuberculosis.

Cd4 T Cell Count

Oral candidiasis is one of clinical manifestations in aquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients. This conditionis a common opportunistic infection of the oral cavity caused by an overgrowth of Candida spesies. The clinical types oforal candidiasis are erythematous or atropic, pseudomembranous, hyperplastic or chronic, and angular cheilitis. AIDS isgroup of symptoms that resulting from infection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This case is associated with thedecreasing of CD4 count. The aimof this study was to know the types of oral candidiasis on AIDS patients at Dr WahidinSudirohusodo Hospital. This observational studywith a cross-sectional design examined 30 patients with AIDS whosuffered fromoral candidiasis, to determine its type after the diagnosis had confirmed by culture test. Their CD4 cellcount taken fromtheir medical records. The result showed that Pseudomembranous candidiasis were found to be higher(76.7%), that was followed by angular cheilitis (23.3%), hyperplastic (16.7%), and erythematous (6.7%). They wereshowed showed CD4 T cell count <200 cells/mm3 (63.3%). From this study, it was concluded that pseudomembranous candidiasis is the most common type and showed that CD4 T cell count <200cells/mmfrom the AIDS patients.
