Popis: BACKGROUND Inflammatory cytokines in bone marrow may impair hematolymphopoiesis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected subjects who do not experience reconstitution of CD4(+) T cells despite suppression of virus replication while receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) (immunological nonresponders). METHODS Bone marrow samples from 12 immunological nonresponders receiving HAART were studied and compared with samples from 11 immunological responders. The mean CD4(+) T cell count (+/- standard deviation) was 174 +/- 68 cells/mm(3) and plasma HIV RNA levels had been
