Abstract
Results HIV-infected children with viremia (>400 copies/ml, n = 12) had a decreased mean (± standard deviation) plasma level of IL-1β (2.2 ± 2.7, ln pg/ml) compared to controls (n = 21, 4.5 ± 5.4, ln pg/ml, p = 0.008) and children with undetectable viral loads (<400 copies/ml, n = 8, 3.4 ± 3.8, ln pg/ml, p = 0.03).
