In 275 patients with HIV/AIDS in Hanoi, the reduce of TCD4 count was studied. The patients whose TCD4 count reduced seriously, the incidence of occupational infection increased, AIDS incidence enhanced while body mass index and Karnofsky mark decreased, red blood count, hemoglobine level, platelet count, number of TCD8, TCD3, TCD4/TCD8 ratio, TCD4/TCD3 ratio reduced while creatinine concentration, SGOT levels, SGPT level, total bilirubine and TCd8/TCD3 ratio enhanced
