Results of the patient's infectious work-up demonstrating a significantly elevated viral load and slightly depressed CD4 cell count. The remainder of the evaluation was negative, showing no signs of other active infectious processes. Ab, antibody; Ag, antigen; DFA, direct florescent antibody test; CMV, cytomegalovirus; HAV, hepatitis A virus; HBV, hepatitis B virus; HCV, hepatitis C virus; HSV, herpes simplex virus; IgG, immunoglobulin G; IgM, immunoglobulin M; RPR, rapid plasma reagin; VZV, varicella zoster virus.
