Decreased hepatitis B virus vaccine response among HIV-positive infants compared with HIV-negative infants in Botswana

We sought to determine vaccine antibody titres and the prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in both HIV-positive and HIV-negative infants born to HIV-positive mothers in Botswana. This was a retrospective cross-sectional study using 449 archived dried blood spot samples from both HIV-po...

Zusammenfassung:We sought to determine vaccine antibody titres and the prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in both HIV-positive and HIV-negative infants born to HIV-positive mothers in Botswana. This was a retrospective cross-sectional study using 449 archived dried blood spot samples from both HIV-positive and HIV-negative infants collected between 2016 and 2018. We screened dried blood spot samples for HBsAg and determined hepatitis B surface antibody titres. We determined hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes by amplifying 415 base-pairs of the surface region. HIV-positive infants mounted a significantly lower immune response to the HBV vaccine (P
