Variation of CD4 count in pregnant women living with HIV
The CD4+ T lymphocyte count gives crucial information on the status of a patient ’s immune system and can be affected by several factors, including pregnancy. In HIV seropositive pregnant women, a steady decline of CD4 percentages has been observed during pregnancy and post-partum. Drastic variations in recommendations for CD4 monitoring among pregnant women living with HIV (W LWHIV) between countries create a necessity for further research on the matter.
