The consequences of inadequate Th17 production in primary immunodeficiency syndromes
illustrate the role of Th17 cells in controlling pathogens to which HIV-positive individuals are
susceptible. Further understanding of the pathogenesis of opportunistic disease in HIV
infection will probably require exploring the role of Th17 cells.
