| Title | Progressive HIV infection in the presence of a raised CD4+ count: HIV/HTLV-1 co-infection | |
| Creator | Haeri Mazanderani, Ahmad Farid Ebrahim, Osman | |
| Description | There are a number of pathophysiological causes for a normal or raised CD4 count in the context of progressive HIV infection. These include various co-infections, previous splenectomy, and lymphoproliferative disorders. Such circumstances can both confound HIV diagnosis and delay initiation of chemoprophylaxis and highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). We describe the case of a patient co-infected with HIV and human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) who, prior to HAART initiation, was found to have progressive immune deficiency associated with a raised CD4 count. | |
