CD4 cells were counted in 119 patients. CD4 cells are white blood cells that boost the immune system. Their number is reduced in HIV-infected patients. The results showed that higher intakes of vitamin A and D increased the number of CD4 cells in HIV patients, thus indicating an improved immune function.
