Popis: SUMMARYIn this study, we investigated the cytokine profiles of 14 treatment-naive HIV-infected patients on the initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). At baseline, plasma levels of TNF-α and its mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were highest in the most severely immunocompromised patients (
