Long term recovery of IgG and IgM production during HIV infection in a patient with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID)

摘要

Aims-Common variable immuno- deficiency (CVID) is the most common serious primary immunodeficiency. This paper describes the immunological conse- quences of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in a patient with familial CVID subsequently treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Methods-Serial measurements over 11 Years of serum immunoglobulins, specific Antiboies to tetanus toxoid and pneumo- Coccal polyscaccharides, lymphocyte phe- Ntoypes, and HIV viral load were made.
