Quantitative Assessment of Intra-Patient Variation in CD4+ T Cell Counts in Stable, Virologically-Suppressed, HIV-Infected Subjects
OBJECTIVES Counts of absolute CD4+ T lymphocytes (CD4+ T cells) are known to be highly variable in untreated HIV-infected individuals, but there are no data in virologically-suppressed individuals. We investigated CD4+ T cell variability in stable, virologically-suppressed, HIV-1 infected adults on combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). METHODS From a large hospital database we selected p...
متن کاملTestosterone therapy and mortality in US veterans.
hether lower testosterone levels are a causal factor or biomarker for disease in older men remains fiercely debated, as randomized controlled trials with endpoints of cardiovascular events or mortality are lacking. Here, a recent retrospective study in US veterans is discussed, which compares mortality rates in men who were and were not prescribed testosterone. As men grow older, endogenous tes...
متن کاملCD4 changes among virologically suppressed patients on antiretroviral therapy: a systematic review and meta-analysis
INTRODUCTION The effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is assessed by measuring CD4 cell counts and viral load. Recent studies have questioned the added value of routine CD4 cell count measures in patients who are virologically suppressed. METHODS We systematically searched three databases and two conference sites up to 31 October 2014 for studies reporting CD4 changes among patients ...
متن کاملDerivation and validation of an accurate estimation of CD4 counts from the absolute lymphocyte count in virologically suppressed and immunologically reconstituted HIV infected adults
BACKGROUND A simple method to estimate CD4 counts in stable, HIV infected virologically-suppressed and immune-reconstituted adults could save the expense of unnecessary formal testing. METHODS Using a baseline CD4 percent, CD4 counts were estimated from subsequent absolute lymphocyte counts (ALC) measured by an automated FBC machine (CD4 estimate calculated by the ALC multiplied by the baseli...
متن کاملLamivudine/dolutegravir dual therapy in HIV-infected, virologically suppressed patients
BACKGROUND Little is known about the applicability of dual treatments based on integrase inhibitors. We explored the combination of lamivudine + dolutegravir as an option when switching from standard cART in virologically suppressed patients. METHODS In this prospective cohort we enrolled patients previously switched to 3TC + DTG who were 18 years or older, with no previous resistance mutatio...
