The serum concentrations of Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, P, Se and Zn and the absolute number of T4 cells were determined in 59 HIV-infected men. Serum levels of Ca, Cu and Fe were significantly higher, those of P and Se significantly lower in the infected, compared to healthy controls. In the HIV-infected cases the concentrations of Se and Zn, of Ca with Cu and Fe, and of Fe with P, were directly correlated. In the controls, the correlation between the levels of K and Mg was direct, and inverse between those of Zn and P. WR-stage and trace element levels did not correlate. The absolute number of T4-lymphocytes was directly correlated with the serum Mg concentration.

D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
