CD 4 + and CD 8 + T lymphocyte counts, naive and memory/effector CD 4 + T subpopulations, and the expression of CD 38 on CD 8 + T lymphocytes were evaluated in four groups: AIDS patients with tuberculosis (HIV/TB, n=14), HIV-1 infected patients (HIV, n=10), HIV-1 negative patients with tuberculosis (TB, n=20) and healthy controls (CTL, n=17). TB and HIV had fewer CD 4 + T cells than CTL, with t...
