Abstract

We studied T cell dynamics in four patients who initially responded well to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HA-ART) but subsequently experienced virological failure. Maintenance of peripheral blood CD4T cell counts was associated with low levels of immune activation. Low reactivity to rebounding virus may preserve normal T lymphocyte distribution over blood and tissues and be associated with stable peripheral blood T cell numbers in virological failures to HAART
