title: [The effect of HAART to serum soluble interleukin-2 receptors in AIDS patients].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To approach the effect of HAART to serum soluble interleukin-2 receptors in AIDS patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  90 cases of AIDS patients were chosen for detection of their slL-2R levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), peripheral blood CD4 T cell counts by flow cytometry and viral load by Branch DNA amplification.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The slL-2R levels were (3154 +/- 905) m9icrog/ml before HAART and (2216 +/- 884) pg/ml after( P < 0.001), After HAART, the sIL-2R levels were(2846 +/- 963) microg/ml in ineffective HAART group and (1879 +/- 875) pg/ml in effective HAART group (P < 0.001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The serum sIL-2R levels of AIDS patients were lowered by effective HAART, and it could judge the efficacy of HAART in same extent.
