Izzy, I am going to look tomorrow in my office for some recent studies that have been published having to do with markers in the CD8 cells, one is HLA-DR and another is a CD34? marker on the CD8 cell surface. These markers appear to be better predictors of disease progression than CD4, or viral load, independently or toguether.
It is interesting, on patients who have had CMV Retinitis, it is the drop in CD8 cells that is a bad prognostic factor for reactivation, and not the CD4 count (as per Janet Davis,MD at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, a leading CMV Retinitis investigator)
