Hyperacute HIV infection is associated with dysregulation of blood lymphoid and myeloid cells. a Monocyte absolute counts. b Total lymphocyte absolute counts. c Eosinophil absolute counts. d Basophil absolute counts. e Neutrophil absolute counts. f Red cell counts. g Platelet counts. For all cellular components, measurements before HIV infection (blue symbols, N = 70), in AHI at Fiebig stages I–II (red symbols, N = 60) and in AHI at Fiebig stages III–V (purple symbols, N = 15) from the FRESH acute infection cohort are shown. Measurements from a different chronic cohort (brown symbols, N = 33) are included for comparison purposes. Each symbol represents an individual participant. Horizontal lines and error bars in the scatter plots represent the median and interquartile range. Statistical test used: Wilcoxon rank-sum test (Mann-Whitney U test). P values < 0.05 were considered significant
