Viral RNA and p24 antigen as markers of HIV disease and antiretroviral treatment success.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the mainstay therapy in human immune deficiency states characterized by qualitative and quantitative reductions in B cells. In addition, however, there is widespread use of IVIG in a number of other areas, including neuroimmunologic, infectious, dermatologic, hematologic,...
