During primary hiv does a cbc with differential shows abnormalities? I know that this kind off test dos not detect hiv infection, but as well as I know during primary hiv t cells of the lymphocytes decrease from 1200 cells/mm3 to 500 mm/3 and never increase to baseline as before. I had a cbc with differential , it was a manual count, and i took this results:
8800 wbc
32% are lymphocytes that means 2816 of wbc are lymphocytes.this mean that half of 2816 are T cells
so if primary hiv decrease T cells that are components of lymphocytes, should lymphocytes be decreased too?
Thank you for your time. your answer it will be very helpful
