Multivariate linear regression analysis to evaluate the association between T cell activation (CD38+ on CD8+ T lymphocytes) and independent variables in leishmaniasis and HIV-1 co-infected patients.
| Independent variables | Dependent variable | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Percentage of CD38+ on CD8+ T lymphocytes | |||
| Coef1 | SE2 | P | |
|
Leishmania infection (presence or absence) |
24.88 | 4.63 | 0.000011 |
| CD4+ T cell count, cells/mm3 | -0.02 | 0.013 | 0.13 |
| Viral load levels (detectable or undetectable) |
4.12 | 4.85 | 0.39 |
1 Coef - Correlation coefficient, 2 SE - Standard error
Obs. HIV-1 infected patients were also included in this analysis.
