Abstract
Human immune deficiency virus (HIV) infection is a heterogeneous condition whose most advanced expression, AIDS, is associated with a number of well-characterized opportunistic infections and neoplasms. However, clinically asymptomatic HIV infection accounts for a longer duration of HIV infection than does symptomatic AIDS, except for a minority of patients who progress rapidly to AIDS. Although asymptomatic HIV-infected patients do not have AIDS-related opportunistic infections or CD4 cell counts of less than 200 cells/mm3, they do have demonstrable immunologic abnormalities. Another interesting group of HIV-infected patients have experienced substantial immune reconstitution as a result of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). These patients generally have very low CD4 cell counts, which rise during treatment with HAART (Palella et al. 1998).
