: Evidence suggests that systemic inflammation increases due to HIV infection. C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-6 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α values were compared between HIV-positive and HIV-negative young MSM and transgender women. CRP values were more than 3 mg/l among 49.8% of participants. HIV status was not significantly associated with CRP nor IL-6. TNF-α was significantly higher among HIV-positive participants. These results suggest the need for further study of the causes and health consequences of elevated systemic inflammation among this population.
有证据表明,由于 HIV 感染,系统性炎症会增加。我们比较了 HIV 阳性和 HIV 阴性的年轻男男性行为者和跨性别女性之间的 C 反应蛋白(CRP)、白细胞介素(IL)-6 和肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)-α 值。49.8%的参与者的 CRP 值超过 3mg/L。HIV 状况与 CRP 和 IL-6 均无显著相关性。HIV 阳性参与者的 TNF-α 显著更高。这些结果表明,需要进一步研究该人群中系统性炎症升高的原因和健康后果。
