Table 7 CD4 count and antiretroviral therapy (ART) status of the study participants (patients)

CD4 cell Count (cells/mm³)	Bacterial (n = 27)		Tubercular (n = 14)		Fungal (n = 4)
	ART	Pre-ART	ART	Pre-ART	ART	Pre-ART
< 100	0	1	0	0	0	0
100–200	0	1	2	0	2	2
> 200–500	7	5	8	2	0	0
> 500	11	2	0	2	0	0
Total	18	9	10	4	2	2

Thirty (66.67%) out of 45 patients were on ART and 15 (33.33%) patients had not received ART. Patients receiving ART had better CD4 counts as compared to patients not receiving ART (pre-ART patients)
