To evaluate protective antibody levels against hepatitis B surface antigen in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected Kenyan children, this study enrolled 531 children. In the HIV-infected group, only 18.3% had protective hepatitis B surface antigen compared with 74.4% in the HIV-uninfected group (P < 0.0001). Perhaps HIV-infected children should be immunized differently.
为了评估肯尼亚感染和未感染 HIV 的儿童体内针对乙型肝炎表面抗原的保护性抗体水平，本研究纳入了 531 名儿童。在感染 HIV 的儿童组中，仅有 18.3%的儿童具有保护性乙型肝炎表面抗原，而在未感染 HIV 的儿童组中，这一比例为 74.4%（P<0.0001）。也许 HIV 感染儿童应该接受不同的免疫接种。
