Uncovering the Hidden Players: Double-negative T Cells in Pediatric HIV and Their Impact on Disease Progression
In pediatric HIV infection, CD4/CD8 ratio normalization and DNT decline depict a more nuanced immune reconstitution than CD4 + recovery alone. Age-dependent DNT trajectories support incorporating DNT monitoring as a complementary biomarker in pediatric ART management.
