Association between Larger Thymic Size and Higher Thymic Output in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Patients Receiving Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy

To examine the impact of thymic size on immune recovery in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, the thymus was visualized, using computed tomographic scans, in 25 HIV-infected patients who had received highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for 6–18 months and had levels...
