Idiopathic CD4+ lymphocytopenia (ICL) is a very rare medical syndrome in which the body has too few CD4+ T lymphocytes which are a kind of white blood cell. ICL is sometimes characterized as HIV-negative AIDS by AIDS denialists though in fact its clinical presentation differs from that seen with HIV/AIDS. People with ICL have a weakened immune system and are susceptible to opportunistic infections although the rate of infections is lower than in people with AIDS.
