Posttransplant Immune Activation
Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity, disability, and mortality in kidney transplant patients. Cumulative reports indicate that the excessive risk of cardiovascular events is not entirely explained by the increased prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease, and it has been postulated that posttransplant immune distur...
متن کاملRelationship between CD4 count and CD4% in HIV-infected people.

METHODS 9203 paired serial measurements of CD4 count and CD4% on 1017 initially AIDS-free and ZDV-naive HIV positive patients from a London-based cohort were available for analysis. Multi-lev...
متن کاملLung CD4 lymphocytes predict survival in asymptomatic HIV infection.
BACKGROUND Plasma viral load and blood CD4 counts are accepted indicators of severity of illness in patients with HIV-1. Lung CD4 counts have not been evaluated in asymptomatic HIV-1 patients as indicators of disease severity. OBJECTIVE To determine if lung lymphocyte counts in asymptomatic subjects with HIV compare with plasma viral loads and blood CD4 counts in predicting survival. DESIGN...
متن کاملEmpiric Deworming and CD4 Count Recovery in HIV-Infected Ugandans Initiating Antiretroviral Therapy
BACKGROUND There is conflicting evidence on the immunologic benefit of treating helminth co-infections ("deworming") in HIV-infected individuals. Several studies have documented reduced viral load and increased CD4 count in antiretroviral therapy (ART) naïve individuals after deworming. However, there are a lack of data on the effect of deworming therapy on CD4 count recovery among HIV-infected...

SETTING A large teaching hospital in North London. PATIENTS AND PARTICIPANTS Patients treated at the Royal Free Hospital, London, who had at least one reported CD4+ T-cell count of less than 5 x 10(6)/l and ...
