Popis: To determine the safety of 2 candidate vaccines against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), a randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial compared low, medium, and high doses of the vaccines or an adjuvant among infants born to HIV-infected women. No local or systemic reactions of grade 2 or greater were reported 48 h after the subjects underwent immunization. Grade 3 or 4 chemistry toxicities occurred in 5 (3%) and grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxicities in 17 (11%) of 154 vaccinated subjects (not significantly different from 29 adjuvant recipients). CD4(+) cell percentages of < or = 20% occurred at least once in 9 vaccinated subjects and 1 control subject. Sustained CD4(+) cell percentages of < or = 20% occurred in 4 HIV-infected children. Fourteen infants (8%) were confirmed to be HIV-infected; median CD4(+) cell counts among these children were 2074, 1674, 1584, and 821 cells/mm(3) at birth and weeks 24, 52, and 104, respectively. Thus, both vaccines were safe and well tolerated in neonates, and there was no evidence of accelerated immunologic decline in HIV-infected infants.
