Age‐matched lymphocyte subpopulation reference values in childhood and adolescence: application of exponential regression analysis

Background:  Normal values of lymphocyte subpopulations for healthy children and adults have been published in defined age groups exclusively, which results in difficult data interpretation for patients close to the limit of contiguous age group ranges. In addition, normal values for a number of lymphocyte subpopulations have not been established to date.
