We evaluated the impact of intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP), which was given at ages 3, 4, and 9 months through the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI), on the development of antibody responses to Plasmodium falciparum in Mozambique. Immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG subclass antibodies specific to whole asexual parasites and to recombinant MSP-1(19), AMA-1, and EBA-175 were measured at ages 5, 9, 12, and 24 months for 302 children by immunofluorescence antibody tests and by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Antibody responses did not significantly differ between children receiving IPTi with SP and those receiving a placebo at any time point measured, with the exception of the responses of IgG and IgG1 to AMA-1 and/or MSP-1(19), which were significantly higher in the SP-treated group than in the placebo group at ages 5, 9, and/or 24 months. IPTi with SP given through the EPI reduces the frequency of malarial illness while allowing the development of naturally acquired antibody responses to P. falciparum antigens.
我们评估了通过扩大免疫规划(EPI)在3、4和9月龄时给予婴儿磺胺多辛-乙胺嘧啶(SP)进行间歇性预防治疗(IPTi)对莫桑比克儿童针对恶性疟原虫抗体反应产生的影响。通过免疫荧光抗体试验和酶联免疫吸附测定法,在5、9、12和24月龄时对302名儿童测量了针对整个无性疟原虫以及重组MSP-1(19)、AMA-1和EBA-175的免疫球蛋白M(IgM)和IgG亚类抗体。在任何测量时间点,接受IPTi-SP治疗的儿童与接受安慰剂的儿童之间的抗体反应均无显著差异,但IgG和IgG1对AMA-1和/或MSP-1(19)的反应除外,在5、9和/或24月龄时,SP治疗组的这些反应显著高于安慰剂组。通过EPI给予IPTi-SP可降低疟疾发病率,同时允许对恶性疟原虫抗原产生自然获得性抗体反应。
