We show that Ugandan adults coinfected with Schistosoma mansoni and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) are able to mount S. mansoni-specific immune responses but that few such responses increase after treatment with praziquantel (PZQ). Levels of soluble worm antigen (SWA)-specific immunoglobulin (Ig) G1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, interleukin (IL)-4, and IL-5 increased significantly in HIV-negative participants after treatment with PZQ, whereas most soluble egg antigen-specific antibody responses and levels of interferon- gamma were unaltered. Only levels of SWA-specific IL-5 increased in HIV-1-coinfected participants after treatment. These deficiencies in immune responses may account for the previously reported increased susceptibility to infection and reinfection with S. mansoni in individuals coinfected with HIV-1.
我们发现,乌干达同时感染曼氏血吸虫和1型人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV-1)的成年人能够产生针对曼氏血吸虫的特异性免疫反应,但在用吡喹酮(PZQ)治疗后,此类反应很少增加。在HIV阴性参与者中,用PZQ治疗后,可溶性虫抗原(SWA)特异性免疫球蛋白(Ig)G1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4、白细胞介素(IL)-4和IL-5水平显著升高,而大多数可溶性虫卵抗原特异性抗体反应和干扰素-γ水平未改变。在接受治疗后的HIV-1合并感染参与者中,只有SWA特异性IL-5水平升高。这些免疫反应缺陷可能解释了先前报道的HIV-1合并感染个体对曼氏血吸虫感染和再感染易感性增加的原因。
