T-Lymphocyte subpopulations in hemophiliac patients.
Laboratory data are presented on 15 patients with hemophilia A. Mean OKT4/OKT8 ratio in hemophiliac patients was significantly lower than in the controls. Although no patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have been found in Japan, hemophiliac patients are supposed to be at increased risk of AIDS by our studies.
