Impaired neutralizing activity by transplacental measles antibodies in infants born to HIV-1 infected mothers
Acta Pediatrica, 08/10/2012
Farouk S et al. – Maternally derived protection against measles may be impaired by the mother’s HIV infection, relating to the quality rather than to the quantity of transplacental antibodies. Selective, early immunization with live attenuated measles vaccine should be evaluated in non–infected children of HIV–1 infected mothers.
