PMID: 18957083
AIDS Res Ther. 2008 Oct 28;5:23. doi: 10.1186/1742-6405-5-23.

BACKGROUND: A proportion of individuals who start antiretroviral therapy (ART) fail to achieve adequate CD4 cell reconstitution despite sustained viral suppression. We determined the frequency and clinical significance of suboptimal CD4 reconstitution despite viral suppression (SO-CD4) in an urban...
