| surrogate marker |
Laboratory tests that may predict a patient's clinical outcome or indicate whether a drug is effective without having to rely on the traditional clinical endpoints of death or development of a major opportunistic infection. Surrogate markers under study in HIV disease include CD4 counts, CD4/CD8 cell ratios, and viral load.

| surfactant |
a detergent secreted by Type 2 alveolar cells between alveolar epithelium. Functions to lower surface tension, allowing lungs to remain inflated. Note: In humans, these cells and their secretion develop towards the very end of the third trimester, just before birth. Hence the respiratory difficulties associated with premature births. (More?

| surrogate marker |
Something that indirectly reflects the patient's current clinical condition. For example, the number of T cells tells us something about how much damage HIV has done, but it is not a direct measure of how much virus is present.
