Background: The failure to increase CD4 T-cell counts in some HAART-treated HIV-infected patients with satisfactory virological responses has been related to low CD4 T-cell production, high turnover and death. However, the relative contribution of these factors is still unclear, strongly limiting the definition of appropriate therapeutic strategies for these patients.Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate the contribution of thymic activity, microbial translocation, cellular activation and death to CD4 T-cell recovery. We included 230 HIV-infected individuals on suppressive HAART (>2 years); 95 of them were considered 'discordant' (CD4 T-cell count
