Effect of multivitamin supplementation on measles vaccine response among HIV-exposed uninfected Tanzanian infants.
Immunization and nutritional interventions are mainstays of child health programs in sub-Saharan Africa, yet few published data exist on their interactions. HIV-exposed (but uninfected) infants enrolled in a randomized placebo-controlled trial of multivitamin supplements (vitamins B complex, C, and E) conducted in Tanzania were sampled for an assessment of measles IgG quantity and avidity at 15...

متن کاملThe Immune System of HIV-Exposed Uninfected Infants
Infants born to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected women are HIV-exposed but the majority remains uninfected [i.e., HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU)]. HEU infants suffer greater morbidity and mortality from infections compared to HIV-unexposed (HU) peers. The reason(s) for these worse outcomes are uncertain, but could be related to an altered immune system state. This review comprehensivel...
متن کاملImmune responses to oral poliovirus vaccine in HIV-exposed uninfected Zimbabwean infants
It remains uncertain whether HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) infants have impaired responses to oral vaccines. We performed a cross-sectional study of 6-month-old infants recruited at birth to the ZVITAMBO trial in Zimbabwe between 1997-2001, before introduction of prevention of mother-to-child transmission interventions. We measured poliovirus-specific IgA to type 1-3 polio strains by semi-quanti...
متن کاملAltered Natural Killer Cell Function in HIV-Exposed Uninfected Infants
OBJECTIVES HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) infants have higher rates of severe and fatal infections compared with HIV-unexposed (HUU) infants, likely due to immune perturbations. We hypothesized that alterations in natural killer (NK) cell activity might occur in HEU infants and predispose them to severe infections. DESIGN Case-control study using cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells...
