This finding is shown in: Giorgi et al, Elevated levels of CD38+CD8+ T cell in HIV infection add to the prognostic value of low CD4+ T cell levels: results of 6 years of followup, J Acq Imm Def Syn, 6: 904-912, 1993. Liu et al, Elevated relative fluorescence intesity of CD38 antigen expression on CD8 T cells is a marker of poor prognosis in HIV infection: results of 6 years of followup, Cytometry, 26: 1-7, 1996.
