Dynamic models for estimating the effect of HAART on CD4 in observational studies: application to the Aquitaine Cohort study and the Swiss HIV Cohort Study [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has proved efficient in increasing CD4 counts in many randomized clinical trials. Because randomized trials have some limitations (e.g., short duration, highly selected subjects), it is interesting to assess it using observational studies.

Accelerated in vivo proliferation of memory phenotype CD4+ T-cells in human HIV-1 infection irrespective of viral chemokine co-receptor tropism. [PDF]
, 2013 CD4(+) T-cell loss is the hallmark of HIV-1 infection. CD4 counts fall more rapidly in advanced disease when CCR5-tropic viral strains tend to be replaced by X4-tropic viruses.

Oral manifestations related to CD4 lymphocyte count in HIV-positive patients
Journal of dental research, dental clinics, dental prospects, 2010 Background and aims. The onset of opportunistic infections in HIV-positive patients is generally associated with a low CD4 count. Oral manifestations can be the first clinical sign of the infection and also determine the progression of disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of oral soft tissue manifestations and their ...

Modeling the Causal Effect of Treatment Initiation Time on Survival: Application to HIV/TB Co-infection [PDF]
Biometrics 2018; 74(2): 703-713, 2019 The timing of antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation for HIV and tuberculosis (TB) co-infected patients needs to be considered carefully. CD4 cell count can be used to guide decision making about when to initiate ART. Evidence from recent randomized trials and observational studies generally supports early initiation but does not provide information ...
