We assessed the value of HIV-1 RNA level compared to soluble immune activation markers, namely neopterin, beta(2)-microglobulin and soluble TNF receptor 75 (sTNFR-75), to predict the change in the number of CD4+ T cells over a 1-year period, the development of AIDS, and survival (median follow-up 54 months). The study population comprised a cohort of 47 individuals for the analysis of the change in CD4+ T cells and survival (20 died), and a subgroup of 31 individuals with a baseline CD4+ T cells above 200 x 10(6)/1 for the development of AIDS (11 developed AIDS). HIV-1 RNA was measured from stored sera by quantitative PCR. The CD4+ T cell count obtained at study entry strongly con elated with baseline serum HIV-1 RNA levels (r = -0.47), and to a lesser extent with neopterin (r = -0.41) and beta(2)-microglobulin (r = -0.29). The percentage change in CD4+ T cells over a 1-year period correlated with HIV-1 RNA levels (r = -0.32, p = 0.03), however, stronger correlations were found for neopterin, beta(2)-microglobulin and sTNFR-75 (r = -0.51, r = -0.41, r = -0.32; p
