Immune activation in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a well described phenomenon. We found that HIV patients have higher secretion of interferon (IFN)-γ compared with non-HIV subjects, as measured by the "nil" value in the QuantiFERON-TB Gold test, even when viral loads are low. This may reflect ongoing immune activation, even with optimal HIV management.
人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染中的免疫激活是一种已被充分描述的现象。我们发现,通过结核感染T细胞检测(QuantiFERON-TB Gold test)中的“零”值来衡量,即使病毒载量较低,HIV患者相较于非HIV受试者也有更高水平的干扰素(IFN)-γ分泌。这可能反映出即便HIV得到了最佳管理,免疫激活仍在持续。
