A primary target of HIV is CD4 T cells, which are preferentially
depleted during the course of the disease. The utility
of CD4 T cell measurements involves clinical considerations
for HIV disease classification and AIDS definition,
assessment of prognosis, and the design of clinical
trials. It is well recognized now that accurate and
reliable enumeration of CD4 T cell counts is very crucial
for monitoring the rate of progression to AIDS, both
for initiating prophylaxis for opportunistic infections
as well as monitoring the impact of antiretroviral therapy
(ART). The lab is equipped with different range of flow
cytometries (FACSCount, Guava PCA, Coulter Epics XL-MCL
and Partec CyFlow for CD4 count), Hematology analyzers
(Sysmex KX-21, Sysmex XT-1800i and Medicon 4000) and
automated ESR Reader |

Quality
Control:
Daily internal QC is performed to monitor the instrument
and reagent performance and daily precision is monitored for
the instrument reproducibility. For the EQAS, we receive the
proficiency testing panels from CAP, UKNEQAS, AIIMS, New Delhi
