title: Effects on virological and immunological parameters during CD34 mobilization in HIV patients with lymphoma.
abstract: The effects of CD34 mobilization with chemotherapy and G-CSF administration were evaluated in 13 HIV-positive patients with relapsed lymphomas and low CD4 counts. After mobilization, CD4+ cells increased significantly while HIV-RNA and integrated HIV-DNA showed no increases. G-CSF led to an increase of CD4+ cells with limited effects on HIV replication.
