The prognosis for delayed immune recovery in HIV-infected children might be associated with pre-cART CD4+ T cell count irrespective of co-infection with tuberculosis by Funsho J. Ogunshola, Ruhul A. Khan, Musie Ghebremichael

“…Abstract Background Immune reconstitution following the initiation of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) significantly impacts the prognosis of individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Our previous studies have indicated that the baseline CD4+ T cells count and percentage before cART initiation are predictors of immune recovery in TB-negative children infected with HIV, with TB co-infection potentially causing a delay in immune recovery. …”
