Impaired production of cytokines is an independent predictor of mortality in HIV-1-infected patients
Key Points
The aim is to determine if cytokine production in whole-blood cultures correlates with mortality in HIV-1-infected individuals.
Conducted whole-blood culture to measure cytokine production.
Analyzed the association between cytokine levels and mortality rates in HIV-1-infected patients.
Impaired cytokine production was found to be an independent predictor of mortality.
Cytokine levels were correlated with adverse outcomes in patients with HIV-1 infection.
Abstract
With regard to the natural history of HIV-1 infection this study investigated whether whole-blood culture cytokine production was associated with mortality in HIV-1-infected patients.
