Title: | Reconstituted immunity against persistent parvovirus B19 infection in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome after highly active antiretroviral therapy | Authors: | Chen M.-Y. CHIEN-CHING HUNG CHI-TAI FANG SZU-MIN HSIEH |

The patient's anemia recurred when the initial course of HAART failed, but it remitted slowly after salvage therapy was instituted. However, circulating B19 was still detectable by nested polymerase chain reaction 1 year after commencement of salvage therapy. Immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M antibodies against B19 were not detected by means of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay when the anemia initially resolved, but they were detected after the patient commenced receiving salvage therapy. The absence of antibody response after the initial remission of parvovirus B 19 infection suggested that cellular immunity was an important component of reconstituted immune function against B19 after the patient received HAART. The humoral response that was restored later was abnormal; it had strong reactivity to nonstructural protein NS-1 and poor generation of neutralizing antibodies against linear epitopes unique to minor capsid protein VP1. ? 2001 the Infectious Diseases Society of America. |
