MS drugs have their risks. This was a small study but T lymphopenia sounds as if it could be serious. From AI:


Quote
T lymphopenia is a condition where there's an abnormally low count of T-cells,, a crucial type of lymphocyte (white blood cell) that fights infections and abnormal cells, making the immune system weaker and increasing susceptibility to illness. It's a specific type of  lymphopenia (low lymphocytes) and can stem from genetic issues, severe viral infections (like HIV, COVID-19), autoimmune diseases, malnutrition, or treatments like chemotherapy, leading to recurrent infections.
