Eligibility for antiretroviral therapy is no longer based on immune criteria. In a global cohort of 97,453 children, between 2005 and 2021, we observed large declines in CD4 measurement, from 51% to 12% among <5 seconds, and from 74% to 20% among those 5-14 years of age. Lack of CD4 testing may negatively affect clinical care and surveillance of severe immune suppression.
抗逆转录病毒疗法的资格不再基于免疫标准。在2005年至2021年期间的一个由97453名儿童组成的全球队列中,我们观察到CD4检测率大幅下降,5岁以下儿童从51%降至12%,5至14岁儿童从74%降至20%。缺乏CD4检测可能会对严重免疫抑制的临床护理和监测产生负面影响。
