Abstract

Normalization of the CD4 cell counts in children treated with HAART is independent of age, indicating that children of all age groups can meet their CD4 T cell production demands. In general, it appears that children restore their CD4 T cell counts better and more rapidly than adults, even in a late stage of HIV-1 infection.
