PG - 7042-7048 LID - S0264-410X(17)31451-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.vaccine.2017.10.043 [doi] AB - We aimed to evaluate immunogenicity and adverse events (AEs) after a booster dose of Meningococcal C conjugated (MCC) vaccine in HIV-infected children and adolescents, who had a previous low seroconversion rate after priming with MCC, at a reference HIV-care center in Rio de Janeiro. METHODS: 2-18 years old HIV-infected subjects with CD4+ T-lymphocyte cell (CD4) >/=15%, without active infection or antibiotic use, were enrolled to receive 2 doses of conjugated meningococcal C oligosaccharide-CRM197 12-18 months apart. All patients were evaluated before and 1-2 months after immunization for seroprotection [defined as human serum bactericidal activity (hSBA) titer >/=1:4]. AEs were assessed at 20 min, 3 and 7 days after each dose. Factors independently associated with seroprotection were studied. RESULTS: 156 subjects were enrolled and 137 received a booster MCC dose. 55% were female, and median age was 12 years. Eight-nine percent were receiving combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) at the booster visit (median duration of 7.7 years), 59.9% had undetectable viral load (VL) at baseline, and 56.2% at the booster visit. Seroprotection was achieved in 78.8% (108/137) subjects, with a significantly higher GMT than after the priming dose (p < 0.01). Mild AEs were experienced after a second MCC dose (38%). In logistic regression, undetectable viral load at entry [odds ratio (OR) = 7.1, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 2.14-23.37], and probably higher CD4 percent at the booster immunization visit (OR): 1.1, 95%CI: 1.01-1.17 were associated with seroprotection after a booster dose of MCC. CONCLUSION: A booster dose of MCC was safe and induced high seroprotection rate even 12-18 months after priming. MCC should be administered after maximum virologic suppression has been achieved. These results support the recommendation of 2-dose of MCC for primary immunization in HIV-infected children and adolescents with restored immune function. CI - Copyright (c) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
