    Abstract:
    Objective To observe the correlation between the distribution of Chinese medicine (CM) syndromes and CD4 + T lymphocyte counts of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients in Xin- jiang region. Methods Totally data (four diagnostic information of CM) of 787 HIV+ patients were collected and syndrome typed from 6 places with higher incidence of AIDS (Urumqi region, Aksu region, Turpan region, Yili region, Kashi region, and Bazhou region). CD4 + T lymphocyte counts were detected in AIDS patients with each syndrome. The correlations of CD4 + T lymphocyte counts and distributions of CM syndrome types were ana- lyzed. Results Qi-yin deficiency syndrome (QYDS) and qi deficiency and dampness resistance syndrome (QDDRS) were dominant in AIDS patients in Urumqi region and Aksu region. Gan stagnation qi stasis syn- drome (GSQSS) was more often seen in AIDS patients in Turpan region. QDDRS was more often seen in AIDS patients in Yili Region. Gan-Shen yin deficiency syndrome (GSYDS) was more often seen in AIDS patients in Kashi region. QYDS was more often seen in AIDS patients in Bazhou region. Fei-Shen yin deficiency syndrome (FSYDS) was more often seen in AIDS patients with CD4 T lymphocytes less than 200/μL. FSYDS and qi stag- nation phlegm coagulation syndrome (QSPCS) were more often seen in AIDS patients with CD4+ T lympho- cytes ranging 201 -350/μL. QDDRS and QYDS were more often seen in AIDS patients with CD4 + T lymphocytes ranging 351 -500/μL. Unconsolidated Fei-qi syndrome (UFQS) and Pi-qi deficiency syndrome (PQDS) were more often seen in AIDS patients with CD4+ T lymphocytes more than 501/μL (P <0. 05). Conclusions There existed different T-lymphocyte levels in AIDS patients with various syndrome types of CM in Xinjiang region, with certain correlation. Along with decreased CD4+T lymphocyte counts, AIDS patients' CM syndromes mani- fested a changing process from superficiality to interior syndrome, and from intermingled syndromes of defi- ciency and excess to deficiency syndrome.
