Predictive effect of the decline in CD4+ T cell levels in blood on infection in patients with severe hemorrhagic stroke and mechanism

ConclusionReduced blood CD4+ T-cell counts among patients who had severe hemorrhagic stroke increased the risk of early infection. CSF IL-6 and IL-8 may be involved in inducing the migration of CD4+ T cells into the CSF and decreasing blood CD4+ T-cell levels.
