Abstract Background The prevalence of congenital cytomegalovirus infection (cCMV) at birth is 0.5%–1% in the United States. Most cCMV newborns are asymptomatic at birth with 10%–15% subsequently developing sequelae, such as hearing loss. Higher cCMV prevalence (2.5%–11.4%) is reported in infants born to HIV-infected women, associated with maternal immune suppression and lack of antiretroviral therapy (ART), with few studies addressing neurodevelopmental (ND) outcomes in their offspring. We report birth prevalence of cCMV in a cohort of HIV-exposed, uninfected infants (HEU) born to women on combination ART with well-controlled HIV and describe ND outcomes through age 5 years. Methods The Surveillance Monitoring for ART Toxicities (SMARTT) study is an ongoing NICHD-funded observational multi-centered cohort study (United States and Puerto Rico) of growth and development of HEU children that commenced in 2007. As of August 1, 2017, participants with stored blood pellets collected ≤3 weeks after birth and at least 1 ND assessment ≥1 year of age had pellets tested by DNA PCR to establish cCMV. Comparisons of ND outcomes (defined in figure) at ages 1, 2, and 5 by cCMV status were made using Wilcoxon and Fisher’s Exact tests. Results Of 895 children meeting study criteria (55% black; 32% white; 40% Latino), 8 had cCMV, yielding a birth prevalence of 0.89% (95% CI 0.39–1.75%). All were asymptomatic and similar to CMV-uninfected infants in gestational age and anthropometric measurements at birth. The last HIV viral load prior to delivery was undetectable in 88% of women. The last available CD4% was <20% in 3/8 mothers of cCMV newborns compared with 112/873 in those without (38% vs. 13%, P < 0.07). The mean duration of follow-up (± standard deviation) of children with cCMV was 7.2 years (1.6) and those without 5.9 (2.3) years (P < 0.11). ND assessments for language development (CDI at 1, A&S at 2, TOLD-P:3 at 5), cognition (Bayleys-III at 1), intelligence (WPPSI-III at 5), and hearing (PTA at 5) did not differ by cCMV status (figure). Conclusion Birth prevalence of cCMV in HEU children born within the last decade approaches national US prevalence. Preschool HEU children with asymptomatic cCMV at birth did not show poorer language, hearing, and developmental outcomes compared with CMV-uninfected HEU children.

Abstract Background Studies from multiple countries have suggested impaired immunity in perinatally human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–exposed uninfected children (HEU), with elevated rates of all-cause hospitalization and infections. We estimated and compared the incidence of all-cause hospitalization and infection-related hospitalization in the first 2 years of life among HEU and HIV-unexposed uninfected children (HUU) in the United States. Among HEU, we evaluated associations of maternal HIV disease–related factors during pregnancy with risk of child hospitalization. Methods HEU data from subjects enrolled in the Surveillance Monitoring for Antiretroviral Therapy Toxicities Study (SMARTT) cohort who were born during 2006–2017 were analyzed. HUU comparison data were obtained from the Medicaid Analytic Extract database, restricted to states participating in SMARTT. We compared rates of first hospitalization, total hospitalizations, first infection-related hospitalization, total infection-related hospitalizations, and mortality between HEU and HUU using Poisson regression. Among HEU, multivariable Poisson regression models were fitted to evaluate associations of maternal HIV factors with risk of hospitalization. Results A total of 2404 HEU and 3 605 864 HUU were included in the analysis. HEU children had approximately 2 times greater rates of first hospitalization, total hospitalizations, first infection-related hospitalization, and total infection-related hospitalizations compared with HUUs. There was no significant difference in mortality. Maternal HIV disease factors were not associated with the risk of child infection or hospitalization. Conclusions Compared with HUU, HEU children in the United States have higher rates of hospitalization and infection-related hospitalization in the first 2 years of life, consistent with studies in other countries. Closer monitoring of HEU infants for infection and further elucidation of immune mechanisms is needed.

Abstract Background HIV-exposed, uninfected (HEU) infants experience higher rates of morbidity and mortality than HIV-unexposed uninfected (HUU) infants. Few studies have examined whether particular infections and/or immune responses are associated with hospitalization among HEU infants born in the United States. Methods We evaluated a subset of HEU infants enrolled in the International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials Group P1025 and/or Pediatric HIV/AIDS Cohort Study Surveillance Monitoring for ART Toxicities studies. We determined seroconversion to 6 respiratory viruses and measured antibody concentrations to 9 vaccine antigens using quantitative ELISA or electrochemiluminesence. Multivariable modified Poisson regression models were fit to evaluate the associations of seroconversion to each respiratory virus/family and antibody concentrations to vaccine antigens with the risk of hospitalization in the first year of life. Antibody concentrations to vaccine antigens were compared between HEU infants and HUU infants from a single site using multivariable linear regression models. Results Among 556 HEU infants, seroconversion to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and parainfluenza were associated with hospitalization [adjusted risk ratio: 1.95 (95% CI 1.21-3.15); 2.30 (1.42-3.73), respectively]. Antibody concentrations to tetanus toxoid, pertussis, and pneumococcal vaccine antigens were higher among 525 HEU compared with 100 HUU infants. No associations were observed between antibody concentrations to any vaccine and hospitalization among HEU infants. Conclusions RSV and parainfluenza contribute to hospitalization among HEU infants in the first year of life. HEU infants demonstrate robust antibody responses to vaccine antigens; therefore, humoral immune defects likely do not explain the increased susceptibility to infection observed in this population.

Abstract Background Studies from multiple countries have suggested impaired immunity in perinatally HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) children, with elevated rates of all-cause hospitalization and infections. We estimated the incidence of all-cause hospitalization and infection-related hospitalization in the first 2 years of life among HEU children and compared this with HIV-unexposed uninfected (HUU) children in the US Among HEU children, we evaluated associations of maternal HIV disease-related factors during pregnancy with risk of infant hospitalization. Methods We evaluated HEU children enrolled in the Surveillance Monitoring for ART Toxicities (SMARTT) Study dynamic cohort of the Pediatric HIV/AIDS Cohort Study (PHACS) network who were born 2006–2017 and followed from birth. Data on HUU children were obtained from the Medicaid Analytic Extract database, restricted to states participating in SMARTT. We compared rates of first hospitalization, total hospitalizations, first infection-related hospitalization, total infection-related hospitalizations, and mortality between HEU and HUU children using Poisson regression. Among HEU children, multivariable Poisson regression models were fit to evaluate associations of maternal HIV factors with risk of hospitalization. Results Our analysis included 2,404 HEU and 3,605,864 HUU children. HEU children had approximately 2 times greater rates of first hospitalization, total hospitalizations, first infection-related hospitalization, and total infection-related hospitalizations compared with HUU children (figure). There was no significant difference in mortality. Among HEU children, maternal HIV disease factors, including viral load, CD4 count, antiretroviral regimen, and mode of HIV acquisition, were not associated with hospitalization rates. Conclusion Compared with HUU, HEU children in the United States have nearly twice the rate of hospitalization and infection-related hospitalization in the first 2 years of life, consistent with studies in other countries. Closer monitoring of HEU infants for infection and further elucidation of immune mechanisms is needed. Disclosures E. G. Chadwick, Abbott Labs: Shareholder, stock dividends.
