We assessed the IgG levels anti-diphtheria (D-Ab) and T cell counts (CD4+ and CD8+) in HIV-1 infected subjects undergoing or not highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Approximately 70% of all HIV-1 patients were unprotected against diphtheria. There were no differences in D-Ab according to CD4 counts. Untreated patients had higher D-Ab (geometric mean of 0.62 IU/ml) than HAART-patients (geometric mean of 0.39 IU/ml). The data indicated the necessity of keeping all HIV-1 patients up-to-date with their vaccination.
我们评估了正在接受或未接受高效抗逆转录病毒治疗(HAART)的 HIV-1 感染患者的抗白喉(D-Ab) IgG 水平和 T 细胞计数(CD4+ 和 CD8+)。大约 70%的所有 HIV-1 患者对白喉没有保护作用。D-Ab 与 CD4 计数无关。未经治疗的患者的 D-Ab (几何平均值为 0.62IU/ml)高于 HAART 患者(几何平均值为 0.39IU/ml)。这些数据表明有必要让所有 HIV-1 患者及时更新他们的疫苗接种情况。
