Description

Lymphocytic alveolitis in HIV-infected patients probably represents a local immune response to HIV-infected cells in the lung. The intensity of lymphocytic alveolitis may therefore reflect the viral load in the lung. If so, treatment that reduces viral load in the lung (e.g., HAART) should also decrease the number of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in the alveolar space and should return pulmonary immune responses toward normal. Patients are stratified by CD4 count: less than 200 cells/mm3 or 200 - 500 cells/mm3. BAL is performed and blood samples are collected prior to initiation of HAART ...
