Markers of inflammation and immune activation are associated with lung function in a multi-center cohort of persons with HIV

Conclusion: Among PWH, different markers of immune activation and inflammation are associated with FEV1% predicted than with DLco% predicted and with an iso↓DLco, representing possible unique pathways of chronic lung disease. Identifying plausible drivers of these inflammatory pathways may clarify mechanisms underlying impaired lung function in HIV infection and may identify therapeutic avenues.
