[Prevalence of anti-LAV antibodies in hemophiliacs, correlation with the immunological state].

Abstract

49 french haemophiliacs (haemophilia A: 41 patients; haemophilia B: 8 patients) were serologicaly tested for LAV antibodies: 10 patients (20.4%) were seropositive including 9 (21.9%) with haemophilia A and 1 (12,5%) with haemophilia B. Between seronegative and seropositive patients total lymphocyte and T-lymphocyte sub-populations counts were not significantly different. The mean serum IgG level was higher and palpable lymphadenopathy more frequently encountered among seropositive patients.
