Revaccination with 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine elicits better serologic response than 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine in HIV-infected adult patients who have undergone primary vaccination with 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine in the era of combination antiretroviral therapy

摘要

HIV-infected adults who had received 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) five years or more earlier consecutively underwent revaccination with one dose of PPV23 (127 subjects) from December 2005 through October 2007, or upon change in standard of care, non-randomly one (50) or two doses (44) of 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) from October 2008 through June 2010. Serologic response was defined as >= 2-fold increase in the IgG level plus a level >= 1000 ng/ml 48 weeks following revaccination. At week 48, the response rate was significantly higher in the 2-dose PCV7 group compared with that in the 1-dose PCV7 or PPV23 group (63.6% vs 32.0% vs 8.7%, respectively; P<0.05). Revaccination with one dose of PCV7 (AOR, 4.57), two doses of PCV7 (AOR, 22.66), and CD4 >350 cells/mu l(AOR, 3.24) and undetectable viral load (AOR, 3.87) at revaccination were statistically significantly associated with a better serologic response at week 48. Despite the limitation that study arms were neither randomized nor contemporaneous, we conclude that revaccination with PCV7 appears to elicit a better serologic response than PPV23 in the HIV-infected adults who have received PPV23 five years or more earlier
