• | Significantly higher T CD4/CD8 cell ratio among responders. |
• | Serologic control required in case of a single injection vaccination scheme. |
Abstract |
Objectives |
We aimed to evaluate the immune response of HIV-1 positive patients to a single injection of HAV vaccine in a context of vaccine shortage during the 2017 European outbreak.
Methods |
We retrospectively enrolled all HIV-1 positive patients vaccinated by a single injection of HAV vaccine Vaqta 50®. HAV serology was performed before and>30 days after the vaccine injection.
Results |
Among the 73 patients, HIV-1 viral load was≤50 copies/mL in 93.2% of the cases. Medians of CD4 and median ratio of T CD4/CD8 cells were 658/mm3 and 0.9, respectively. A low immune response rate (59.7%) was observed among the patients. Responders had a significantly higher CD4/CD8 cell ratio than non-responders.
Conclusions |
A serologic control should be recommended in this population in the event of a single injection vaccination schedule. During routine follow-up, and prior to any untoward event, physicians should assess the vaccination coverage of HIV-infected patients.
