Interferon Gamma, Recombinant Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome Aids Related Complex

Description

It is likely that infants and children severely immunocompromised by HIV infection would respond to immunomodulators that augment different portions of the host defense system. Interferon-gamma has been shown to benefit children with severely compromised nonspecific immunity and may thus be of benefit to those with HIV infection. Patients are treated with subcutaneous rIFN-gamma 3 times a week for 24 weeks and are then followed for an additional 12 weeks.
