Antibody response to hepatitis A immunization among human immunodeficiency virus-infected children and adolescents.

Seventy-one of 84 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected children [84.5% (95% confidence interval: 75-91.5%)] were hepatitis A virus (HAV) seropositive after 2 doses of HAV vaccine.

Multidisciplinary, inpatient directly observed therapy for HIV-1-infected children and adolescents failing HAART: A retrospective study.

Children and adolescents with HIV-1 infection and elevated viral loads are at risk for disease progression. When outpatient adherence efforts fail to reduce viral loads, we have chosen to hospitalize patients for directly observed antiretroviral therapy. A retrospective chart review was performed for patients who were admitted for adherence concerns to a rehabilitation facility from December 1, 2000 to December 1, 2003.
