  • Title: Fatal hepatitis B infection despite immunization in an HIV-infected infant: a possible case of vaccine failure and immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome.
    Author: Van der Linden D, Cotton M, Rabie H, McKerrow N.
    Journal: J Trop Pediatr; 2010 Oct; 56(5):351-4. PubMed ID: 20159888.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of hepatitis B immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome in an 8-month-old girl with Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infection. In resource-constrained countries, HIV-hepatitis B co-infections are often difficult to diagnose and to treat. We highlight on the importance of hepatitis B and HIV screening in pregnant women, to implement efficient preventive measures.
