Infants who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-exposed uninfected (iHEU) experience higher risk of infectious morbidity than infants HIV-unexposed uninfected (iHUU). We compared tuberculosis (TB) infection prevalence in 418 Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccinated sub-Saharan African iHEU and iHUU aged 9-18 months using T-SPOT.TB. Prevalence of TB infection was low and did not differ by HIV exposure status.
HIV 暴露未感染婴儿(iHEU)比 HIV 未暴露未感染婴儿(iHUU)有更高的传染性发病风险。我们使用 T-SPOT.TB 比较了 418 名接种卡介苗的撒哈拉以南非洲地区 9-18 月龄 iHEU 和 iHUU 中结核(TB)感染的流行率。TB 感染的流行率较低,且与 HIV 暴露状态无关。
