Serial procalcitonin responses in infection of children with secondary immunodeficiency.
PURPOSE Procalcitonin has proven to be a sensitive inflammatory marker in non-neutropenic patients. The aim of this study was to determine and compare Procalcitonin with other inflammatory markers in the serum of immunosuppressed children with haematological malignancies; and to assess the predictive value of these mediators in distinguishing between bacterial and non-bacterial infection. MET...

متن کاملImmunization for persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus.
Immunization is an important measure to protect HIV-infected children and adults against certain vaccine preventable diseases. However, the antibody response, which is associated with the level of CD4+ T cell count, is frequently impaired in this group of patients. Certain vaccines enhance virus replication and transiently increase HIV viral load. Theoretically, vaccination should be given befo...
متن کاملResponse to influenza immunization in patients with common variable immunodeficiency
Results Both the CVID and controls showed similar induction of flu-specific IgM-secreting memory B cells after vaccination. Before vaccination, CVID subjects had significantly lower frequencies of flu-specific IgG and IgA memory B cells. Half of the CVID subjects (4/8) showed an increase in flu-specific IgG-secreting memory B cells post vaccination, whereas the other half showed none. 8/8 contr...
