Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) results in decreased cell-mediated immunity, which includes decreased delayed hypersensitivity to skin test antigens. HIV-1 seropositivity and skin test reactivity to purified protein derivative (PPD) were determined among 2042 healthy Haitian adults with normal chest radiographs. Among HIV-1-seropositive individuals, 52.3% (146/279) had PPD reactions greater than or equal to 10 mm compared with 67.2% (1184/1763) of the seronegative adults (P less than .001). However, the percentage of HIV-1-seropositive individuals with PPD reactions greater than or equal to 5 mm was similar to the percentage of seronegative adults with PPD reactions greater than or equal to 10 mm (180/279 [64.5%] vs. 1184/1763 [67.2%]). Assuming that the rate of prior infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis was similar for HIV-1-seronegative and -seropositive populations, these data provide support for the recent recommendations to use induration of greater than or equal to 5 mm as evidence of past infection with M. tuberculosis in HIV-1 seropositive adults.
感染1型人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV-1)会导致细胞介导免疫功能下降,其中包括对皮肤试验抗原的迟发型超敏反应降低。在2042名胸部X光片正常的海地健康成年人中,测定了HIV-1血清阳性率以及对纯化蛋白衍生物(PPD)的皮肤试验反应性。在HIV-1血清阳性个体中,52.3%(146/279)的PPD反应大于或等于10毫米,而血清阴性成年人的这一比例为67.2%(1184/1763)(P<0.001)。然而,HIV-1血清阳性个体中PPD反应大于或等于5毫米的比例与血清阴性成年人中PPD反应大于或等于10毫米的比例相似(180/279 [64.5%] 对1184/1763 [67.2%])。假设HIV-1血清阴性和血清阳性人群既往感染结核分枝杆菌的比例相似,这些数据为最近建议将硬结大于或等于5毫米作为HIV-1血清阳性成年人既往感染结核分枝杆菌的证据提供了支持。
