We analyzed immunologic (CD4 and CD8 slopes; interferon-gamma, interleukin-2, interleukin-10, and chemokines production; concentration of IgE; beta 2-microglobulin) and virologic (p24; HIV isolability and phenotype; plasma viremia) parameters in HIV vertically infected children > or = 8 years of age without disease progression or mild symptoms and an absolute CD4+ count > or = 500/microliter with CD4+ percentage...
