Peripheral CD4 T-cell depletion has been observed in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). To investigate more accurately this alteration, we studied peripheral blood CD45RA(+) and CD29(high) CD4 subsets in 79 TB patients with (HIV(+)TB(+)) or without (HIV(-)TB(+)) HIV infection, 85 HIV-infected patients without TB (HIV(+)TB(-)), and 43 healthy controls, all living in West Africa. The high proportion of CD4(+)CD29(high) T cells observed in controls was dramatically decreased in CDC-A stage HIV(+)TB(-) patients. CD45RA(+) CD4(+) T cells were depleted during the CDC-B stage. Both the percentage and the absolute count of CD29(high)CD4(+) T cells were decreased in HIV(-)TB(+) and HIV(+)TB(+) patients versus controls, but CD45RA(+)CD4(+) T cells were not decreased in TB patients without HIV-infection. Although distinct alterations in the CD4(+) T-cell homeostasis are involved in TB(-) versus HIV-infected subjects, our data suggest that the CD29(+)CD4(+) T-cell depletion observed during the early HIV disease contributes to the risk of active TB, by reducing the pool of T cells able to relocalize to the sites of the M. tuberculosis multiplication.
