Two Cases of Idiopathic CD4+ T-lymphocytopenia in Elderly Patients

We present 2 cases of idiopathic CD4+ T-Iymphocytopenia (ICL) in elderly patients. Case 1, a 73-year-old man, with pneumonia had received several antibiotics with unsuccessful results at another hospital. On admission, his CD4+ T-lymphocyte count was 109/μl and Pneumocystis carinii was detected by b...

description We present 2 cases of idiopathic CD4+ T-Iymphocytopenia (ICL) in elderly patients. Case 1, a 73-year-old man, with pneumonia had received several antibiotics with unsuccessful results at another hospital. On admission, his CD4+ T-lymphocyte count was 109/μl and Pneumocystis carinii was detected by bronchoalveolar lavage fluid staining. No evidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection was found. Despite therapy, the patient died of respiratory failure. Case 2, a 72-year-old man, contracted severe pneumonia, and Hemophillus influenzae was believed to be the pathogen. On admission, his CD4+ T-lymphocyte count was 238/μl. No evidence of HIV infection was found. He received antibiotics and improved successfully. We suggest that ICL may currently be incubating in a number of elderly pneumonia patients.
