| Parameter | HIV negativea (n=10) | HIV positive (n=5) | Total (n=15) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total number of Giant cells in ROI (min – max) | 4.8 ± 4.6 (1 – 12) | 5.4 ± 4.3 (3 – 13) | 5.0 ± 4.3 (1 – 13) |

| Mean number of nuclei / giant cell in ROI (min – max) | 9.3 ± 4.9 (4 – 18) | 10.9 ± 3.8 (5 – 15) | 9.8 ± 4.5 (4 – 18) |
Giant cells were not detected in the tissue obtained from 3/13 of the HIV-negative and 4/9 of the HIV-positive patients.
