Profound peripheral T-lymphocyte depletion and activation in disseminated tuberculosis
(Brazilian Society of Infectious Diseases, 2006-02-01)
Three HIV-1-seronegative patients with disseminated tuberculosis presented significant depletion of T-cell counts, in CD4+ and/or CD8+ cells, associated with increased expression of activation marker CD38 on CD8+ T-lymphocytes. ...
