OBJECTIVE: Low CD4/CD8 T-cell ratios occur in conditions associated with reduced immune resilience, including older age and HIV infection. Effective antiretroviral therapy increases CD4/CD8 T-cell ratios, but often not to preinfection levels. The reasons for this deficit remain unclear. As cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection exacerbates falling CD4/CD8 T-cell ratios and immune senescence in the old elderly...
