Idiopathic CD4+ lymphocytopenia (ICL) is a rare medical syndrome in which the body has too few CD4 + T lymphocytes, which are a kind of white blood cell. [2] ICL is sometimes characterized as "HIV-negative AIDS", though, in fact, its clinical presentation differs somewhat from that seen with HIV/AIDS. [ 3 ]
This is a shortened version of the third chapter of the ICD-9: Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases, and Immunity Disorders. It covers ICD codes 240 to 279 . The full chapter can be found on pages 145 to 165 of Volume 1, which contains all (sub)categories of the ICD-9.
Lymphocytopenia is commonly caused by a recent infection, such as the common cold or COVID-19. [3]Lymphocytopenia, but not idiopathic CD4+ lymphocytopenia, is associated with corticosteroid use, infections with HIV and other viral, bacterial, and fungal agents, malnutrition, systemic lupus erythematosus, [4] severe stress, [5] intense or prolonged physical exercise (due to cortisol release ...

Combined immunodeficiencies; Other names: Combined immunity deficiency, CID: Scanning electron micrograph of a human T lymphocyte (also called a T cell) from the immune system of a healthy donor.
T cell deficiency is a deficiency of T cells, caused by decreased function of individual T cells, it causes an immunodeficiency of cell-mediated immunity. [1] T cells normal function is to help with the human body's immunity, they are one of the two primary types of lymphocytes (the other being B cells).
Bare lymphocyte syndrome, type II (BLS II) is a rare recessive genetic condition in which a group of genes called the major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC class II) are not expressed.
Affected individuals typically present with low frequencies of CD4 +, a T-cell marker, and decreased circulation of regulatory T cells and iNKT cells. Notably, approximately 10% of people display CD4 + T cell counts lower than 200 cells/mm 3 ; this particular phenotype of CVID has been named LOCID (Late Onset Combined Immunodeficiency) and has ...
