Abstract
Correlates of death soon after antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation remain unclear. We investigated the association between expression of CD39, a novel immune exhaustion marker, and early mortality in patients with human immunodeficiency virus/tuberculosis co-infection. Elevated pre-ART CD39+CD8+ T cell frequency was independently associated with mortality within 6 months of ART initiation.Entities:
