Cytomegalovirus Infection and HIV-1 Disease Progression in Infants Born to HIV-1–Infected Women

Abstract: Background and Methods-Cytomegalovirus (CMV) has been implicated as a cofactor in the progression of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) disease. We assessed 440 infants (75 of whom were HIV-1-infected and 365 of whom were not) whose CMV status was known, who were born to HIV-1-infected women, and who were followed prospectively. HIV-1 disease progression was defined as the presence of class C symptoms (according to the criteria of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC]) or CD4 counts of … Show more

“…Although CMV coinfection was associated with more-rapid HIV-1 progression and higher mortality in an American cohort, CMV coinfection was not associated with higher HIV-1 viral loads (17). To determine whether HIV-1 viral load was affected by acute CMV infection in this Kenyan cohort, we compared mean HIV-1 viral loads between children who were CMV infected and children who were CMV negative at 1 month of age.…”

“…Cytomegalovirus (CMV) coinfection is associated with more-rapid HIV-1 progression in children (10,17,23), and in adults, plasma CMV DNA is associated with survival time (6,12,34). In resource-poor settings, in which CMV is often acquired during infancy (21,32), a large population of children undergo simultaneous primary HIV-1 and CMV infection (32).…”

“…20 A child who had a positive culture at any age or who had a positive serologic test (immunoglobulin G or M) at 12 months of age or older was considered CMV positive. Patients older than 6 months were considered CMV-negative if they had a negative serologic test and no previous positive culture results.…”

“…Pode permanecer no organismo indefinidamente após a primeira infecção e, em determinadas situações de baixa imunidade do hospedeiro, o vírus pode ser ativado e causar infecções recorrentes (LOBATO-SILVA, 2016). Em indivíduos imunocompetentes geralmente estabelece uma infecção primária assintomática com baixos ou nenhum nível de replicação viral.…”

“…Em uma coorte de crianças nascidas de mães infectadas pelo HIV, as coinfectadas apresentaram maior risco de progressão para a aids e morte do que as monoinfectadas pelo HIV (KOVACS et al, 1999). Em outro estudo de coorte de pacientes que participaram de profilaxia oral com Ganciclovir, a presença de CMV no sangue foi fator desencadeante para aids e morte dos pacientes, e a quantidade desse vírus foi o mais forte preditor, quando comparado à contagem de células T CD4+ ou aos níveis de carga viral do HIV (SPECTOR et al, 1999).…”
