Failure of multiple-site intradermal postexposure rabies vaccination in patients with human immunodeficiency virus with low CD4+ T lymphocyte counts.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with low CD4(+) T lymphocyte counts had a poor neutralizing antibody response to pre- and postexposure rabies vaccination. This study of HIV-infected patients with CD4(+) T lymphocyte counts < 200/microL indicated that patients had a poor response after 4-site intradermal vaccinations (4-4-4-0-2-2, doubling the intradermal doses of cell-culture rabies vaccine).

Three-year experience with 4-site intradermal booster vaccination with rabies vaccine for postexposure prophylaxis.
For booster vaccination of previously immunized persons with potential exposure to rabies, the World Health Organization recommends 2 doses of cell-culture vaccine administered intramuscularly or intradermally on days 0 and 3. We believe that four 0.1-mL intradermal booster doses given on a single day could be used at no risk to the recipient. We studied use of a single booster vaccination on d...

postexposure rabies vaccination in patients with human immunodeficiency virus with low CD4 ϩ T lymphocyte cell counts. Reply Sir—We thank Drs. Mary and David War-rell [1] for noting the error in the percentage of patients with seroconversion presented in table 2 of our article [2]; the rate should have appeared as 27%, not 7%. On day 7 of the regimens, the levels of neutralizing antibodies (NAb...
متن کاملCellular immune response following pre-exposure and postexposure rabies vaccination by intradermal and intramuscular routes
PURPOSE Immunization against rabies in humans induces protective neutralizing antibodies; however, the induction of type 1 or type 2 cytokine mediated cellular immune responses following rabies vaccination is not understood. Hence, the present study investigated cellular cytokine responses in vaccinated individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study groups included healthy rabies antigen naive ...

In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals the amount of antibodies formed after vaccination with T-cell-dependent recall antigens such as tetanus toxoid is proportional to the peripheral blood CD4(+) T-lymphocyte counts. To investigate whether the immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclass distribution and avidity of the antibodies produced after vaccination are affected as well, we gave ...

Background: Lymphocyte subsets enumeration is considered prominent in the management of primary and acquired immunodeficiency disorders. Because of local variations due to race, age, gender, and environmental conditions on lymphocyte subsets, and to improve the accuracy of interpretation of laboratory findings, reference intervals must be determined in every population. Objective: To establish ...
