Cd4 and cd8 are a type of T cell lymphocyte. Generally activated during an infection. To get these tested u need to ask for a lymphocyte sub set test. May have different names in different countries. Can use it as evidence that u have immune dysfunction going on. Most GPs aren't use to reading or ordering these tests.
@heapsreal Thanks for the info and no doctor has ever ordered this test for me. I will ask for it when I see CFS doctor in a few weeks. What is the ratio supposed to be? I posted a question in another thread that you probably know the answer to- what is "lymphocyte percent auto" testing for and what does it mean if your numbers are slightly low?
