It is important to highlight that infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may trigger chronic inflammation in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), impacting to the key immune cells such B and T lymphocytes, leading to development of autoantibodies which might be potential to developed autoimmune phenomenon. This study represent the first investigation in Sudan designed to evaluate and determine the prevalence of Antinuclear autoantibody (ANA) among people living with HIV/AIDS by systematically charaterizing ANA staining patterns; distribution, frequency and their correlation with estimated endpoint titers and interplay of age -sex specific ANA patterns in the context of HIV infection post antiretroviral therapy era. Using Serum samples of one hundred and sixteen (116) HIV-infected patients admitted to two major Voluntary Testing and Counseling (VTC), of the HIV clinical centers at the Military Hospital and Bahri Hospital in Khartoum, Sudan, have been assessed for ANA screening. A total of 116 HIV confirmed cases, were screened for ANA autoantibodies using HEp-2 cell indirect immunofluorescent technique. out of 116 85/116 (73.3%) were showed positivity for ANA. the proportion of ANA positivity among the male group was higher than the female group, 49/65 (75.4%) and 36/51 (70.6%), respectively, but there are no significant statistical differences (p = 0.7). Interestingly, a high proportion of positivity for ANA were found in the older subject groups (aged 42-56 years and > 57 years), with rates of 80% for each. Furthermore, our study also showed that the predominant ANA patterns were nuclear fine-speckled (AC-4, 56.5%) followed by cytoplasmic fine granules (AC-20, 24.7%). This study suggests that HIV might induced chronic inflammation and trigger the production of autoantibodies with variable specificities, needing further studies to better understand the role of HIV-driven chronic inflammation in shaping autoimmune serological profiles in these patients.
需要强调的是,感染人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)可能会在艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者(PLWHA)中引发慢性炎症,影响关键免疫细胞,如B和T淋巴细胞,导致自身抗体的产生,这可能会引发自身免疫现象。本研究是苏丹首次进行的一项调查,旨在通过系统地描述抗核抗体(ANA)染色模式,评估和确定艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者中抗核自身抗体(ANA)的患病率;在抗逆转录病毒治疗时代的HIV感染背景下,ANA的分布、频率及其与估计终点滴度的相关性以及年龄-性别特异性ANA模式的相互作用。使用苏丹喀土穆军事医院和巴赫里医院这两个主要的艾滋病毒自愿检测和咨询(VTC)中心收治的116例HIV感染患者的血清样本进行ANA筛查。共对116例确诊的HIV病例使用HEp-2细胞间接免疫荧光技术进行ANA自身抗体筛查。在116例中,85/116(73.3%)显示ANA阳性。男性组中ANA阳性比例高于女性组,分别为49/65(75.4%)和36/51(70.6%),但无显著统计学差异(p = 0.7)。有趣的是,在年龄较大的受试者组(42 - 56岁和>57岁)中发现较高比例的ANA阳性,每组的比例均为80%。此外,我们的研究还表明,主要的ANA模式是核细斑点型(AC-4,56.5%),其次是细胞质细颗粒型(AC-20,24.7%)。本研究表明,HIV可能诱发慢性炎症并引发具有不同特异性的自身抗体的产生,需要进一步研究以更好地理解HIV驱动的慢性炎症在塑造这些患者自身免疫血清学特征中的作用。
