HIV/hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfected patients are known to have lower sustained viral response (SVR) rates than HCV monoinfected patients. However, the role of CD4+ T-cell counts on viral kinetics and outcome is not fully understood.
HCV RNA kinetics (bDNA v3, lower limit of detection [LD] = 615 IU/mL) was analyzed in 32 HIV/HCV coinfected persons treated with Pegylated-interferon-alpha2b (1.5 microg/kg weekly) and ribavirin (1-1.2 g daily) for 48 weeks and compared with results obtained from 12 HCV monoinfected patients treated with the same regimen.
Baseline CD4+ T-cell counts > or =450 cells/mm3 were significantly (P < 0.002) associated with SVR in coinfected genotype 1 patients. First phase decline was significantly lower among patients with low as compared with high CD4 counts (P < 0.03) and among coinfected compared with monoinfected patients (P < 0.002). Second phase decline slope showed a similar trend for coinfected patients.
Low baseline CD4+ T-cell count is associated with slower HCV viral kinetics and worse response to treatment among HIV coinfected patients, suggesting HCV treatment response depends on immune status. HCV genotype 1 coinfected patients have slower first phase viral kinetics than HCV monoinfected patients. First phase viral decline (>1.0 log) and second phase viral decline slope (>0.3 log/wk) are excellent predictors of SVR for coinfected patients.
已知人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)/丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)合并感染患者的持续病毒学应答(SVR)率低于单纯HCV感染患者。然而,CD4 + T细胞计数对病毒动力学和治疗结果的作用尚未完全明确。
对32例接受聚乙二醇化干扰素α-2b(每周1.5μg/kg)和利巴韦林(每日1 - 1.2g)治疗48周的HIV/HCV合并感染患者的HCV RNA动力学(分支DNA v3,检测下限[LD]=615 IU/mL)进行分析,并与12例接受相同治疗方案的单纯HCV感染患者的结果进行比较。
在合并感染基因1型的患者中,基线CD4 + T细胞计数≥450个细胞/mm3与SVR显著相关(P < 0.002)。低CD4计数患者的第一阶段病毒下降幅度显著低于高CD4计数患者(P < 0.03),且合并感染患者低于单纯感染患者(P < 0.002)。合并感染患者的第二阶段病毒下降斜率呈现相似趋势。
基线CD4 + T细胞计数低与HIV合并感染患者的HCV病毒动力学较慢及治疗反应较差相关,提示HCV治疗反应取决于免疫状态。合并感染基因1型的患者第一阶段病毒动力学比单纯HCV感染患者慢。第一阶段病毒下降幅度(>1.0 log)和第二阶段病毒下降斜率(>0.3 log/周)是合并感染患者SVR的良好预测指标。
