Antibodies to pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides in children with human immunodeficiency virus infection given polyvalent pneumococcal vaccine

J Pediatr. 1994 Jul;125(1):77-9. doi: 10.1016/s0022-3476(94)70127-x.

Abstract

Antibody to 7 common pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides was measured in 11 children with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection who had been previously vaccinated with 23-valent polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine, 11 unvaccinated children with HIV infection, and 11 healthy subjects. No differences in capsule-specific IgG levels against serotypes 4, 6B, 8, 12F, 14, 19A, and 19F were observed among the vaccinees with HIV infection compared with unvaccinated children with HIV infection and age-matched control children.
