title: Impact of adding maraviroc to antiretroviral regimens in patients with full viral suppression but impaired CD4 recovery.
abstract: We reviewed the effect of adding maraviroc on CD4 cell counts in nine patients on antiretroviral therapy with full viral suppression but impaired CD4 cell recovery. There were no significant differences in changes in CD4 cell count, percentage of CD4 cells, or in the ratio of CD4/CD8 cells at 30 days and 25 weeks of maraviroc therapy. Plasma endotoxin levels measured in four patients before and during maraviroc treatment also showed no significant differences.
