Default Anyone else have low CD4 and a high CD4/CD8 ratio??
I cant find much ab these results - other than common in HIV which I dont have. Also, I understand they are T cells made from thymus but that's the extent of my knowledge.

Saw a few studies surrounding these values and thymoma. I'll dig deeper but, in the interim, does anyone have any ideas as to what this may indicate?


Thanks.

Why did your doctor order the test? If you are concerned, you could see a hematologist or an immunologist for an opinion.
