MeSH definition : Infected individuals with naturally low levels of pathogen replication (e.g., HIV
LONG-TERM SURVIVORS with low VIRAL LOAD of HIV) and remain healthy. Some elite controllers
have immune systems which prevent disease progression (e.g., high CD4 COUNTS). Studies
of how they remain disease-free may contribute to development of new therapeutic approaches
and targets.;
