 AB    Eighteen infants of mothers with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
       infection were given hepatitis B vaccine at birth. Seroconversion
       occurred in all 13 infants whose HIV antibody disappeared, versus one of
       five HIV-infected children. The four of five HIV-infected infants who
       did not mount an antibody response progressed rapidly to full-blown
       acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Thus HIV-infected infants respond
       poorly to hepatitis B vaccine.
