In a separate analysis, the total lymphocyte count was significantly lower in […]

First, the differences in hemoglobin concentration and neutrophil count, although statistically significant, were minimal. Second, the differences in platelet, total lymphocyte, CD4+, and CD8+ cell counts between ARV‐unexposed and ‐exposed infants were significant at most visits throughout the period of study. Number of infants with 1 event of clinically relevant hematologic abnormalities, by ARV exposure […]
