Abstract

The rate of clinical progression is variable among individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Changes in viral burden which correlate with disease status have been demonstrated in cross-sectional studies; however, a detailed longitudinal study of the temporal relationship between viral burden, CD4+ T-cell numbers, and clinical status throughout the course of infection has not been reported. Multiple longitudinal blood samples were obtained from four HIV-1-infected individuals with clinically divergent profiles. Levels of HIV-1 were measured in sequential samples of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, using both end-point dilution cultures and quantitative polymerase chain reaction methods. Serial HIV-1 isolates from each case were also evaluated to determine their biological properties in vitro. For the three patients with clinical progression, a dramatic increase in the level of HIV-1 was observed concurrent with or prior to a marked drop in CD4+ T lymphocytes. This increase in viral burden was temporally associated with the emergence of a more cytopathic viral phenotype. In contrast, consistently low levels of HIV-1 were observed in the one patient who was clinically and immunologically stable for more than a decade. Moreover, viral isolates from this patient were less cytopathic in vitro compared with HIV-1 isolates from those patients with disease progression. The temporal association between increased viral burden and CD4+ T-cell decline suggests a direct role for HIV-1 in the cytopathology of CD4+ T cells in vivo. Our results indicate that the pathogenic mechanisms responsible for CD4+ T-cell depletion may be related to both quantitative and qualitative changes in HIV-1.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
