DLCO in HIV Patients and Their Association with CD4 and VL
HIV infection is significantly associated with impaired pulmonary diffusion function. Even after antiviral therapy when the viral load becomes undetectable (CD4+ T lymphocytes > 400), the impairment of pulmonary diffusion still persists. Therefore, we should strengthen the pulmonary function testing for AIDS patients, detect the risk of lung injury as early as possible, carry out timely interventions, and reduce the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
