ABSTRACT
Many different antiretroviral regimens can be used as initial therapy for infection with HIV. While all recommended regimens have been shown to be highly effective in suppressing HIV replication to undetectable levels, some differences may exist with regard to the level of immune reconstitution (eg, CD4+ cell population) that occurs. We report a case of a patient with profound and prolonged lymphopenia, despite undetectable HIV RNA levels, that reversed following a switch from a fixed-dose combination of tenofovir/emtricitabine to abacavir/lamivudine in the patient's regimen.
