Assessing the association between platelets and immune recovery in HIV/HBV co-infected patients: A long-term cohort in Asia.

CONCLUSION: The platelet counts of HIV/HBV co-infected patients were correlated with CD4 counts during the follow-up of HAART. These results suggest that the mechanisms associated with thrombocytopenia may be involved in the regulation of immune recovery after treatment in HIV/HBV co-infected patients.
