title: Idiopathic CD4+ T-cell lymphocytopenia.
abstract: Idiopathic CD4+ T lymphocytopenia (ICL) is an unusual immune defect in which there is an unexplained deficit of CD4+ T cells, leading to serious opportunistic infections. In view of the rarity of this clinical entity, we report two cases of ICL who presented with low CD4+ count or percentage and various opportunistic infections like candida, cytomegalovirus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
