Summary

The administration of factor VIII concentrates has been associated with immune abnormalities in patients with severe haemophilia A, even in the absence of HIV infection.

The effects of a monoclonal purified factor VIII concentrate, Hemofil M (Baxter), on preexistent immune abnormalities were assessed over a 2 year period in 22 HIV negative haemophiliacs. They were treated previously with other concentrates, and received Hemofil T from 1983 to 1988. No HIV infection was demonstrated. No serologic evidence for other viral (re)-infections was seen. A decrease of HLA-DR expression on non-B lymphocytes in the first year (P = 0.026), and a decrease of T4-T8 ratio over the 2 years were found (P = 0.0016). Skin tests were non-contributive. The decrease in HLA-DR expression is suggestive for an improved immune function, possibly due to a reduced content of protein or virus in this concentrate.
