Plasma levels of microbial products are elevated in HIV-infected children. Baseline plasma LPS (A and B) and 16S rDNA (C and D) levels in total and IC groups. Correlation between LPS and 16S rDNA in total patients (E). Comparisons of median clinical values between different groups of subjects were performed by Mann–Whitney U test. Correlations between 2 variables were done using the Spearman correlation and linear regression. Asterisks indicate the levels of significance. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
