Sinusitis FAQ

? – What are "normal" T Cell Ranges?

Question:

I’m fuzzy on this.  Living in a gay resort I hear people talking about T cell counts the way they used to talk about horsepower or baseball scores when I was a kid. From overheard brunch conversations I’m getting that 800ish is "normal" and below 500 is a problem with 280 or so getting into the UH-OH! stage. Is this right?   Funny – this isn’t "word on the streets", it’s "word on the patios".  I haven’t really checked out this info source before. Thanks in advance, dn

According to my recent pathophysiology course for nursing school – 600-1000 is normal A person who is HIV+ and has a T-cell count below 500 is considered to have ARC (Aids Related Complex.) Below 200 is considered full blown AIDS. Gianine

Thanks!  Interesting that the uh-oh occurs where it does.   I guess the sicker you are the harder it is to come back.  Works that way with other illnesses.
