Urinary neopterin, a sensitive marker for activation of cell mediated immunity, is compared to clinical and laboratory data in 5 patients with AIDS, in 15 patients with ARC and in 40 male subjects without AIDS-related clinical signs attending an AIDS outpatient clinic. The sensitivity of neopterin for AIDS-related diseases was higher than that of the CD4+/CD8+ subset ratio. The differences in neopterin levels between the controls, ARC and AIDS patients were found to be more significant than the T-cell subset data. The observation that the 3 AIDS patients with the highest neopterin levels have died whereas the two others with the lower levels are still alive also underlines the prognostic potential of urinary neopterin level determinations. Measurement of urinary neopterin is thus recommended as an additional criterion for monitoring ARC and AIDS patients.

D006377 T-Lymphocytes, Helper-Inducer Subpopulation of CD4+ lymphocytes that cooperate with other lymphocytes (either T or B) to initiate a variety of immune functions. For example, helper-inducer T-cells cooperate with B-cells to produce antibodies to thymus-dependent antigens and with other subpopulations of T-cells to initiate a variety of cell-mediated immune functions.

D000163 Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.
