HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS HIV-Infected Individuals Receiving Effective Antiviral Therapy for Extended Periods of Time Continually Replenish Their Viral Reservoir

چکیده
REVIEWER COMMENTS. Most of the published information on the HES has focused on adult patients. This report compares a pediatric case report of HES and a review of published pediatric cases of this condition to adult patients with this syndrome. This is an insightful clinical report that should be useful in the overall workup of pediatric patients who present with dramatic eosinophilia ( 1500/mm3) for 6 months’ duration without other known causes of eosinophilia and who have evidence of organ involvement that might be attributable to HES.

متن کاملHIV-infected individuals receiving effective antiviral therapy for extended periods of time continually replenish their viral reservoir.
The persistence of latently infected, resting CD4+ T cells is considered to be a major obstacle in preventing the eradication of HIV-1 even in patients who have received effective antiviral therapy for an average duration of 5 years. Although previous studies have suggested that the latent HIV reservoir in the resting CD4+ T cell compartment is virologically quiescent in the absence of activati...
متن کاملDecay of the HIV reservoir in patients receiving antiretroviral therapy for extended periods: implications for eradication of virus.
The persistence of latently infected resting CD4+ T cells has been clearly demonstrated in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals receiving effective antiviral therapy. However, estimates of the half-life of this viral reservoir have been quite divergent. We demonstrate clear evidence for decay of this HIV reservoir in patients who initiated antiviral therapy early in infection...
