My father recovered from COVID about 45 days ago. He was hospitalized from April 9th to 16th. In his recent blood report, the CD4/CD8 ratio appears to be low. Could you please help me understand what this means.

A low CD4/CD8 ratio can be seen after COVID 19 and may take time to normalise. If there are no symptoms and he is recovering well, this usually is not a concern. Just keep monitoring.

Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test or Take a IMMUNE DEFICIENCY PANEL - I (CD4, CD8) Test

I recently had some tests done, and my report shows lymphocytes at 3,249. Is this level normal? If not, what should I do?
