We report a case of a patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) for 20 years who has experienced CD4(+) T cell depletion in spite of maintaining undetectable viral loads. Our data suggest that immune activation can cause CD4(+) T cell depletion even when HIV-1 replication appears to be controlled by host factors.
我们报告了一例感染人类免疫缺陷病毒1型(HIV-1)达20年的患者,尽管其病毒载量一直检测不到,但仍出现了CD4(+) T细胞耗竭的情况。我们的数据表明,即使HIV-1复制似乎受到宿主因素的控制,免疫激活仍可导致CD4(+) T细胞耗竭。
