Group-specific antibody levels surrounding invasive pneumococcal illness in children infected with human immunodeficiency virus.
Pneumococcal antibody levels surrounding systemic pneumococcal illness (SPI) were measured in children infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Archived serum samples were collected from 28 HIV-infected children who had 34 cases of SPI, caused by pneumococcal groups 4, 6, 9, 14, 19, and 23. Serum samples collected within 23 weeks before and 13 weeks after the SPI were assayed by ELISA ...
متن کاملPneumococcal carriage among HIV infected children in Accra, Ghana
BACKGROUND Pneumococcal carriage is the precursor for development of pneumococcal disease, and is also responsible for transmission of the organism from person-to-person. In Africa, little is known about the pneumococcus in relation to people with HIV infection. The aim of the study was to investigate the epidemiology of pneumococcal carriage among HIV infected children visiting a tertiary hosp...
متن کاملPneumococcal antibody levels in children with PID receiving immunoglobulin.
OBJECTIVES Clinical data are lacking on optimal levels of specific antipneumococcal antibodies (PnPsAbs) in patients with primary immunodeficiency (PID) receiving intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) replacement. Objectives were to conduct a prospective multicenter study providing data on total immunoglobulin G (IgG) and peak/trough levels of PnPsAbs specifically targeting the 16 most prevalent pn...
متن کاملTLR9-adjuvanted pneumococcal conjugate vaccine induces antibody-independent memory responses in HIV-infected adults
HIV-patients have excess of pneumococcal infection. We immunized 40 HIV-patients twice with pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Prevnar, Pfizer) +/- a TLR9 agonist (CPG 7909). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stimulated with pneumococcal polysaccharides and cytokine concentrations measured. The CPG 7909 adjuvant group had significantly higher relative cytokine responses than the placebo grou...

Almeida et al. report, in this issue of the journal, a retrospective studyon theprevalence and patterns of antiretroviral drug resistance in 24 treatment-naïve and 23 treatment-experienced children failing therapy between 2000 and 2004 attending a clinic in São Paulo. All children were vertically infected, and the median age of the naïveand treatment-experienced children was 22 months and 102 m...
