Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Proportion of HIV-infected patients producing a response to Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccination of 1.0 ug per ml anti-polyribosyl phosphate antibodies (considered protective levels) at 1 month post-vaccination compared with HIV-uninfected control subjects. Acute vaccination responses measured at baseline and one month post-vaccination with clinical laboratory serological assays for antibody titres. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Level of immune response to each vaccination at 1 month post-vaccination in study participants compared with control group and correlation of immune response to degree of immune suppression of each participant gauged by CD4 count 2. Duration of immune response to each vaccination through course of study 3. Correlation of immune response to psychosocial factors 4. Occurrence of any vaccine-preventable diseases during the course of the study Acute vaccination responses measured at baseline and one month post-vaccination with clinical laboratory serological assays for antibody titres. Duration of immune response measured at four-monthly clinic visits (cases) and annual appointments (controls) over 5 year duration of study. Psychosocial factors measured at baseline and four months via a patient questionnaire. Vaccine-preventable disease occurrence measured through continuous follow in outpatient clinic over 5 year duration of study. | — |
