This is a murky situation because both resurgence of HIV as well as other infections could cause high lymphocytes. If HIV is still negative then Id worry more about another underlying viral infection. If lymphs remain high and keep going up then Id ask for hematology consult. Your ID doc might want to send off flow cytometry to rule out any ominous diagnoses in the meantime. I wouldnt be too concerned about percentage of CD4 cells. Just worry about absolute count which is fine. High lymphs is nothing concerning unless it keeps going up on repeat.
Is this some kind of blood cancer?25.Male.HIV undetectable. My HIV provider is very concerned regarding abnormalities found repeatedly on my labs since the start of the year. Previously, my CD4 Poz Lymph usually stayed in the 30s range. However this past year, that range has consistently been dropping. First 22; then 19, and 16... Since last summer, I have had a full workup related to abdominal pain, migraines and muscle weakness/discomfort and current severe rectal pain. My provider has expressed her concern regarding this and has now referred me out for a hematology/oncology consult. There is a history of blood disorders including blood related cancers on my dads side of the family. Can you give me any insight or advice on what I may be dealing with here? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
