title: [Trace element concentrations in HIV infected patients].
abstract: The serum concentrations of Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, P, Se and Zn and the absolute number of T4 cells were determined in 59 HIV-infected men. Serum levels of Ca, Cu and Fe were significantly higher, those of P and Se significantly lower in the infected, compared to healthy controls. In the HIV-infected cases the concentrations of Se and Zn, of Ca with Cu and Fe, and of Fe with P, were directly correlated. In the controls, the correlation between the levels of K and Mg was direct, and inverse between those of Zn and P. WR-stage and trace element levels did not correlate. The absolute number of T4-lymphocytes was directly correlated with the serum Mg concentration.
