Mycobacterium tuberculosis co-infection is associated with increased surrogate marker of the HIV reservoir

Abstract: Background Tuberculosis (Tb) is the most frequent opportunistic infection among people living with HIV infection. The impact of Tb co-infection in the establishment and maintenance of the HIV reservoir is unclear. Method We enrolled 13 HIV-infected patients with microbiologically confirmed Tb and 10 matched mono-HIV infected controls. Total HIV DNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), plasma interleukin-7 (IL-7) concentrations and the activities of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) were measured fo… Show more

“…Both longitudinal and cross-sectional studies, however, have shown that Mtb disease increases HIV-1 replication. 37 , 38 Increased rounds of virus replication generate a larger number of genetic variants. Thus, Mtb disease may augment humoral responses by increasing the diversity of the HIV-1 Env antigen encountered by antibody-producing cells.…”

“…Our previous multi-variable linear regression analysis showed that these factors did not independently associate with neutralization BP score after accounting for Mtb disease status (Table 1). Both longitudinal and cross-sectional studies have shown that Mtb disease increases HIV-1 replication (44, 45). Increased rounds of virus replication generate a larger number of genetic variants.…”

“…The effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the lung HIV reservoir remain largely unknown. It is plausible that SARS-CoV-2-induced immune activation, similarly to what has been reported in PLWH with tuberculosis and other pulmonary infections, could stimulate viral replication and clonal expansion of HIV-infected cells but no studies have yet been published to support or refute this hypothesis (229,256).…”
