HIV-1 infection in Kenyan infants : natural history and T cell responses

2007-01-01

Abstract excerpt

This thesis describes human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in Kenyan infants. Paediatric HIV-1 infection causes rapid disease progression in the absence of antiretroviral (ARV) therapy. African cohorts have reported the highest rates of mortality, from 20-50% at 2 years of life. Understanding the pathogenesis in HIV-1 infected children is important to the design of prevention, treatment, and vacci...
