Peripheral blood cells from 29 patients with activeMycobacterium avium(MAC) orMycobacterium tuberculosisdiseases were tested for mycobacterial antigen-induced interferon (IFN)-γ and interleukin (IL)-4 production. Among MAC patients, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection was associated with an 80% decrease in those who produced IFN-γ, resulting in a predominantly type 2 cytokine profile. HIV infection in patients with tuberculosis correlates with a 37% increase in those producing IL-4 and a type 1 to type 0 profile shift. These qualitative changes were independent of CD4+ or CD8+ cell numbers. The amounts of both IFN-γ and IL-4 were decreased in the HIV-infected population. Quantitative reduction of IFN-γ was the result of fewer secreting cells rather than a down-regulation at the single-cell level. Disseminated disease was restricted to 2 of 5 HIV-infected MAC patients with a type 2 cytokine profile and 4 of 5 HIV-infected tuberculosis patients with a type 0 profile. These results demonstrated a shift in mycobacterial antigen-specific cytokine profiles from type 1 to type 0 and to type 2, in parallel with AIDS progression.
