A case of multidrug resistant primary HIV infection with delayed CD4 T-cell count decline despite low viral load, treated with interleukin-2
We report the clinical and laboratory features of an individual with recent multidrug resistant HIV-1 infection. The case is characterized by a high, stable CD4 cell count for 2 years followed by sudden, rapid decline despite the viral load being persistently < 1000 copies/ml. Further-more, treat...

Summary: | We report the clinical and laboratory features of an individual with recent multidrug resistant HIV-1 infection. The case is characterized by a high, stable CD4 cell count for 2 years followed by sudden, rapid decline despite the viral load being persistently < 1000 copies/ml. Further-more, treatment with interleukin-2, without antiretroviral drugs, has been successful in maintaining a robust CD4 T-cell cell count over 16 months. |
