HIV positive patients who take combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) to combat HIV infection could see the numbers of CD4 cells in their immune system rise to concentrations found in HIV negative ...

Treatment interruptions in patients with prolonged immunologic and virologic responses to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) have been advocated in many circles, especially if the CD4+ count ...

The drug had minimal effect on the low CD4-cell counts of immunologic nonresponders. Most HIV-infected patients with adequate virologic suppression on antiretroviral therapy (ART) will eventually ...

Background. It has been suggested that routine CD4 cell count monitoring in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–monoinfected patients with suppressed viral loads and CD4 cell counts >300 cell/μL could ...

The pathway causing CD4 T-cell death in HIV-infected hosts remains poorly understood although apoptosis has been proposed as a key mechanism. We now show that caspase-3-mediated apoptosis accounts for ...

The authors compared the CD4+ T-cell counts and HIV-1 RNA viral loads of 383 patients who were either mono-infected with HIV or co-infected with HTLV-1/HIV. They confirmed that co-infected patients ...

Background. Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) reactivations are associated with increased HIV load, but whether HSV-2 coinfection accelerates HIV disease is unclear. We compared rates of CD4 count ...

HIV viruses infecting T-lymphocytes, computer illustration. The surface of the T-cell has a lumpy appearance with large irregular surface protrusions. Smaller spherical structures on the cell surface ...

For adults infected with HIV in Thailand a monitoring strategy based on CD4 count (a type of white blood cell) is non-inferior to the recommended monitoring strategy measuring the amount of HIV virus ...

Implementation of electronic patient-reported outcomes for symptom monitoring in a large multi-site community oncology practice. A multicenter analysis of the outcome of cancer patients with ...

In the first study, researchers evaluated the relationship between timing of ART and the recovery of CD4 counts. “This study identifies a narrow ‘restorative time window’ of approximately 4 months ...
