Article Synopsis
- Cytokines play a crucial role in the progression of HIV, with plasma levels evaluated in extreme progressors (slow and rapid) before starting HIV treatment (HAART).
- Significant differences were found in the levels of IL-6 and IL-10 across different HIV infection stages, with elevated levels in slow progressors before starting HAART compared to other groups.
- These findings suggest that increased IL-6 and IL-10 levels may serve as indicators of inflammation and potentially reflect the disease progression in HIV-infected individuals, regardless of their progression status.
