Prevalence of Measles Antibodies in Asymptomatic Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Adults

One hundred five asymptomatic human immunodeficiency virus-seropositive adults were screened for measles antibody. Ages ranged from 21 to 59 years (mean, 35.7). CD4+ lymphocyte counts (range, 76–1137/mm3 ) , percentage of CD4+ cells (6–42), CD4:CD8 ratio (0.08–.3), measles antibody titers by EIA, an...

Description
Summary:One hundred five asymptomatic human immunodeficiency virus-seropositive adults were screened for measles antibody. Ages ranged from 21 to 59 years (mean, 35.7). CD4+ lymphocyte counts (range, 76–1137/mm3 ) , percentage of CD4+ cells (6–42), CD4:CD8 ratio (0.08–.3), measles antibody titers by EIA, and undocumented history of prior measles or immunization were obtained. Forty-six patients gave a history of measles but no immunization, 18 ofimmunization but no measles, 26 of immunization and measles, and 15 of neither measles nor vaccination. Only one patient
