Mean adenoidal width was 6.76 mm(SD,5.82)in the HIV-positive population, but was only 3.36 mm(SD,2.48)in the age-matched control group.Age and HIV status correlated with nasopharyngeal width measurements.No relationship between adenoidal width and hematocrit,CD4 count,or white blood cell count was evident.After correcting for age,we found that adenoidal lymphoid tissue is more abundant in HIV-positive persons than in control subjects. The hematologic ramifications of this finding remain uncertain. |
