Abstract
Previously, an increase in clinical effectiveness of the antituberculosis treatment (ATT) and antiretroviral therapy (ART) in case of additional immunoglobulin G (IgG) administration in patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB)/HIV coinfection was reported. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of IgG administration in addition to the standard second-line ATT and ART on the humoral immunity status in patients with MDR-TB/HIV coinfection immune deficiency. The study involved 52 patients living with HIV with MDR-TB coinfection and CD4+ lymphocyte cell count below 50 cells/μCL. Patients in the control group and intervention group received the second-line ATT and ART; in addition, patients in the intervention group received IgG intravenously. The humoral immunity status was evaluated by measurement of IgA, IgE, IgG, and IgM in plasma. The standard ATT and ART resulted in a two-step change in humoral immunity: IgM, IgG, IgA, and IgE levels gradually increased to a maximal level at the 5-month mark and started to gradually decrease after the 8-month mark. Addition of IgG to the standard therapy resulted in a steeper decrease in the immunoglobulin level in serum, especially IgG, compared with standard therapy alone, allowing for an earlier initiation of ART in patients in the intervention group.
期刊介绍:
AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses was the very first AIDS publication in the field over 30 years ago, and today it is still the critical resource advancing research in retroviruses, including AIDS. The Journal provides the broadest coverage from molecular biology to clinical studies and outcomes research, focusing on developments in prevention science, novel therapeutics, and immune-restorative approaches. Cutting-edge papers on the latest progress and research advances through clinical trials and examination of targeted antiretroviral agents lead to improvements in translational medicine for optimal treatment outcomes.
AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses coverage includes:
HIV cure research
HIV prevention science
- Vaccine research
- Systemic and Topical PreP
Molecular and cell biology of HIV and SIV
Developments in HIV pathogenesis and comorbidities
Molecular biology, immunology, and epidemiology of HTLV
Pharmacology of HIV therapy
Social and behavioral science
Rapid publication of emerging sequence information.
