摘要
We evaluated the therapeutic outcomes of all antiretroviral-naive HIV-1-infected patients with fewer than 100 CD4 cells/mul, who received efavirenz-based highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Sixty-one percent suffered AIDS-defining diseases, and after a median follow-up of 45 weeks there were three deaths and five AIDS-related conditions (two relapses, three new). Efavirenz-based HAART was found to be effective in profoundly immunosuppressed HIV-1-infected patients.
