i had severe weight loss, and lot of symptoms in 2018, i went to specialist and got infections tests and all came back good.. but my CD8 cells are very less in the immunity test. after few months with continued symptoms i researched and found my symptoms are related to b12 deficiency and got tested and found positive to parietal cell antibody and intrinsic factor(PA).. so my question is , is there any relation with decreased CD8 cells in case of autoimmune diseases?

I've read somewhere it's common for decreased cd8 cells when b12 deficient .I dont think I've ever been tested for those.

Do not know the relevance whoever ordered the test will know the full answer .
