OBJECTIVE: to determine the immunogenicity of the monovalent vaccine against 2009 pandemic influenza A/H1N1 in HIV-1-infected individuals. DESIGN: a total of 192 participants, including 44 HIV-1-positive individuals and 148 HIV-1-negative healthy controls were enrolled to receive a single dose of MF59-adjuvanted 2009 A/H1N1v vaccine formulated to contain 7.5 microg of haemagglutin antigen. METHODS: standard haemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay was performed to evaluate seroconversion and seroprotecsion rates against the pandemic virus in serum samples collected at baseline (T0) and 3-5-week postvaccination (T28). Seroconversion to vaccination was defined by either prevaccination HAI titer less than 1: 10 with a postvaccination titer higher than 1: 40, or a prevaccination titer higher than 1: 10 and increase of at least four-fold or more after vaccination. Seroprotection was defined by HAI titers higher than 1: 40. RESULTS: the vaccine induced specific antibody titers in HIV-1-positive individuals similar to those of HIV-1-negative controls [215.3, 95% confidence interval (CI) 150.4-308.1 vs. 275.9, 95% CI 232.6-327.3] with postvaccination seroprotection rates higher than 97%. In contrast, the seroconversion rate was lower in the HIV-1-positive individuals as compared with the HIV-1-negative controls (36.4 vs. 79.0%, P < 0.0001), likely as a consequence of their high HAI baseline titers. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that seroconversion was less likely in HIV-1-positive individuals [odds ratio (OR) = 0.237, 95% CI 0.104-0.539, P = 0.0006) and with increasing age (OR = 0.805, 95% CI 0.684-0.947, P = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS: a single dose of MF59-adjuvanted 2009 influenza H1N1 vaccine induced an immune response against pandemic H1N1 virus in HIV-1-positive individuals reaching titers similar to those of HIV-1-negative individuals. The seroconversion rate was negatively associated with HIV infection and increasing age. 2011 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
