Apatient is admitted to the hospital due to a high fever and a series of infections. after a blood test is done, it is discovered that the patient's t cell count is low, around 180 cells per cubic millimeter.
what is most likely the diagnosis for this patient?
-aids
-hepatitis b
-syphilis
-hpv

The answer I got was AIDS

The correct answer is the first option.

It is most likely that the diagnosis for this patient is AIDS. The AIDS virus attacks your blood cells responsible for fighting infection, your immunity defense. One of the first signs that someone could have AIDS is that they keep getting sick with flu like symptoms or infections that just won't go away. This is because the body can't fight off the infection as the cells are being attacked and depleted by the AIDS virus. Having a T cell count that is low is obviously a major indicator of the virus.

minor skin infections such as pimples, impetigo, boils, cellulitis, folliculitis, carbuncles, scalded skin syndrome, and abscesses, to life-threatening diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, osteomyelitis, endocarditis, toxic shock syndrome, bacteremia, and sepsis,bloodstream infections, pneumonia, or bone and joint infections.

hope it will help :)
