Objectives: Immune checkpoint pathways regulate optimal host immune responses against transformed cells, induce immunological memory, and limit tissue pathology. Conversely, aberrant immune checkpoint activity signifies a poor prognosis in cancer and infectious diseases. Host-directed therapy (HDT) via immune checkpoint blockade has revolutionized cancer treatment with therapeutic implications for chronic infections, thus laying the foundation for this review. Methods: Online literature searches were performed via PubMed, PubMed Central, and Google using the keywords immune checkpoint inhibition; host-directed therapy; T cell exhaustion; cancer immunotherapy; anti-PD-1 therapy; anti-PD-L1 therapy; chronic infections; antigen-specific cells; tuberculosis; malaria; viral infections; human immunodeficiency virus; hepatitis B virus; hepatitis C virus; cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus. Search results were filtered based on relevance to the topics covered in this review. Results: The use of monoclonal antibodies directed against the antigen-experienced T-cell marker programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand PD-L1 in the context of chronic infectious diseases is reviewed. The potential pitfalls and precautions, based on clinical experience from treating patients with cancer with PD-1/PD-L1 pathway inhibitors, are also described. Conclusions: Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy holds promise as adjunctive therapy for chronic infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV, and must therefore be tested in randomized clinical trials.
