Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Related Microbial Translocation and Progression of Hepatitis C

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that HIV-related CD4 + lymphocyte depletion was associated with enhanced microbial translocation, and microbial translocated is a mechanism through which alcohol and some enteric conditions cause liver disease.
