Factors associated with a reduced CD4 lymphocyte count response to HAART despite full viral suppression in the EuroSIDA study

Abstract

A poor immune reconstitution despite a good virological control is frequent after initiation of HAART among patients with a baseline CD4 count of <350 cells/microL. The underlying mechanisms leading to this condition seems mainly driven by the age and the baseline immunological and virological status of the patients.
