Authors: King D J.S., Gotch F M., Larsson-Sciard E.

Published in: Clin Exp Immunol.2001;125(3):447-454

Abstract In this pilot study, we address the nature of the re-population of the T-cell compartment in HIV-1+ (Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1), vertically infected children placed on successful regimens of HAART (highly active anti-retroviral therapy) incorporating 2 NRTI and a protease inhibitor.

Immune repopulation after HAART in previously untreated HIV-1 infected children

Authors: Gibb DM, Newberry A, Klein N, de Rossi A, Grosch-Wörner I, Babiker A

Published in: Lancet.2000; 355: 1331-2

Abstract In 25 vertically HIV-infected children receiving highly-active antiretroviral therapy, a 3-log10 reduction in plasma HIV RNA load was maintained for 1 year and was associated with a doubling of the CD4-cell percentage. Most (75%) new CD4 cells carried the CD45RA marker of naive cells and there was only a small rise in memory cells (CD45RO).

Authors: Paediatric European Network for Treatment of AIDS (PENTA)

Published in: HIV Med. 1999;1(1):25-31

Objective The study aimed to explore the experience of parents/care-givers to their child’s participation in a European randomized trial of immediate (zidovudine) with deferred (placebo) antiretroviral treatment in asymptomatic children with vertically acquired HIV infection (PENTA 1 trial).

Design One hundred and thirty-three questionnaires were distributed to parents/care-givers (68% of children in the trial) through their paediatrician prior to unblinding the individual child’s therapy (zidovudine/placebo) and 84 (63% response rate) were returned.

A randomized double-blind trial of the addition of lamivudine or matching placebo to current nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor therapy in HIV-infected children: the PENTA-4 trial

1998

Authors: Aboulker JP, Babiker A, Carrière I, et al.

Published in: AIDS.1998;12(14):F151-F160

Objective To evaluate the toxicity, tolerability and effect on laboratory markers of adding lamivudine (3TC) to nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) in children with HIV-1 infection.

Methods HIV-1-infected children on stable NRTI therapy were randomized to receive 3TC syrup or tablets (4 mg/kg twice daily) or matching placebo in addition to existing therapy.

Background Plasma HIV-1 RNA levels are high in vertically infected infants. Information in older children is limited, particularly in those who have not received antiretroviral therapy.

Objectives To describe the relationships between HIV-1 RNA, age and CD4 cell count in untreated vertically infected children.
