Subclinical Reactivation of Cytomegalovirus Drives CD4(+)CD28(null) T-Cell Expansion and Impaired Immune Response to Pneumococcal Vaccination in Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis

BACKGROUND: Infection is the leading cause of death in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–associated vasculitis (AAV). Expansion of CD4(+)CD28(null) T cells is associated with increased risk of infection and mortality, but is only present in cytomegalovirus (CMV)–seropositive individuals. We hypoth...
