Objective: To evaluate the performance of interferon gamma release assays and tuberculin skin test in HIV-infected children and adolescents with immune reconstitution. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in HIV-infected patients aged 5-18 years receiving antiretroviral treatment with CD4 T-lymphocytes >25％ or >500 cells/mm3 for at least 6 months. QuantiFERON-TB Gold, T-SPOT.TB, and tuberculin skin test were performed in each patient. Results: A total of 50 patients were enrolled with median age of 13.7 years, CD4 counts of 753 (IQR: 587-989) cells/mm3. Among 27 patients with tuberculosis (16) or tuberculosis exposure (11), 8 (29.6％) were positive to at least one test, 2 (7.4％) were positive QuantiFERON-TB Gold, 3 (11.1％) positive T-SPOT.TB, and 7 (25.9％) had tuberculin skin test ≥5 mm. Among 23 patients without history of tuberculosis or exposure, all had negative interferon gamma release assays, while 2 (8.7％) had positive tuberculin skin test. Conclusions: All tests had low sensitivity despite immune reconstitution.

目的:皮肤的屏障功能对角质细胞DNA的合成具有调节作用,在急性动物模型中,当屏障功能降低时,表皮细胞DNA的合成增加,其增加的程度与屏障功能异常的程度成正比,当屏障功能改善后,由屏障功能异常所诱导的DNA的合成受到相应的抑制。亚急性及慢性皮炎的主要病理改变是表皮增生过度;生理改变是表皮屏障功能降低,但亚急性及慢性皮炎表皮增生过度与屏障功能改变的相关性,目前尚无此方面的研究。本实验的目的是分别以0.
