Delayed CD4 cell recovery in HIV-associated disseminated nontuberculous mycobacterial disease: A case-control study
We demonstrated a link between dNTMd and significantly impaired CD4 cell count recovery in PLWH after ART initiation, independent of baseline results and viral suppression. A composite of five clinical and laboratory parameters may help identify patients at risk. Close clinical monitoring and personalized treatment approaches in PLWH with dNTMd is essential.
