There is a decrease in antibody levels after hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), and such patients may be at increased risk of acquiring vaccine-preventable infection. A simple and validated revaccination schedule is required. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunogenicity of a revaccination schedule for pediatric HSCT recipients.
Thirty-eight children (age, 1-18 years) who had undergone autologous or allogeneic HSCT for malignant diseases were recruited. All children received vaccinations in accordance with a predefined schedule. Antibody concentrations were measured before and 2-4 weeks after vaccination against tetanus; Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib); meningococcus C; measles; poliovirus serotypes 1, 2, and 3; and 9 pneumococcus serotypes.
Before vaccination, protective antibody levels were found for tetanus in 95% of patients (geometric mean concentration [GMC], 0.07 IU/mL; 95% CI, 0.05-0.1 IU/mL), for Hib in 63% (GMC, 0.34 microg/mL; 95% CI, 0.21-0.57 microg/mL), for measles in 60% (GMC, 102 mIU/mL; 95% CI, 41-253 mIU/mL), for meningococcus C in 11% (geometric mean titer [GMT], 1:4; 95% CI, 1:2-1:8.4), for all 3 poliovirus serotypes in 29%, and for all 9 pneumococcal serotypes in 0%. Vaccination resulted in a significant increase (P < or = .05) in antibody levels to each vaccine antigen studied, with 100% of patients achieving protection against tetanus (GMC, 2.2 IU/mL; 95% CI, 1.8-2.7 IU/mL), 100% achieving protection against Hib (GMC, 8.4 microg/mL; 95% CI, 7.6-9.3 microg/mL), 100% achieving protection against measles (GMC, 2435 mIU/mL; 95% CI, 1724-3439 mIU/mL), 100% achieving protection against meningococcus C (GMT, 1:5706; 95% CI, 1:3510-1:9272), 92% achieving protection against the 3 poliovirus serotypes, and > or = 80% achieving protection against each of the heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine-associated serotypes. No factors relevant to age, underlying disease, or treatment type were found to significantly influence responses.
Revaccination of pediatric HSCT recipients in accordance with this revaccination schedule provides a high level of protection against these vaccine-preventable diseases.
造血干细胞移植(HSCT)后抗体水平会下降,此类患者感染疫苗可预防疾病的风险可能会增加。需要一个简单且经过验证的再接种方案。本研究的目的是评估小儿HSCT受者再接种方案的免疫原性。
招募了38名因恶性疾病接受自体或异基因HSCT的儿童(年龄1 - 18岁)。所有儿童均按照预定方案进行疫苗接种。在接种破伤风、b型流感嗜血杆菌(Hib)、C群脑膜炎球菌、麻疹、脊髓灰质炎病毒1、2和3型以及9种肺炎球菌血清型疫苗前及接种后2 - 4周测量抗体浓度。
接种疫苗前,95%的患者破伤风抗体水平达到保护性水平(几何平均浓度[GMC],0.07 IU/mL;95%置信区间,0.05 - 0.1 IU/mL),63%的患者Hib抗体水平达到保护性水平(GMC,0.34 μg/mL;95%置信区间,0.21 - 0.57 μg/mL),60%的患者麻疹抗体水平达到保护性水平(GMC,102 mIU/mL;95%置信区间,41 - 253 mIU/mL),11%的患者C群脑膜炎球菌抗体水平达到保护性水平(几何平均滴度[GMT],1:4;95%置信区间,1:2 - 1:8.4),29%的患者对所有3种脊髓灰质炎病毒血清型抗体水平达到保护性水平,0%的患者对所有9种肺炎球菌血清型抗体水平达到保护性水平。接种疫苗后,针对所研究的每种疫苗抗原,抗体水平均显著升高(P≤0.05),100%的患者对破伤风获得保护(GMC,2.2 IU/mL;95%置信区间,1.8 - 2.7 IU/mL),100%的患者对Hib获得保护(GMC,8.4 μg/mL;95%置信区间,7.6 - 9.3 μg/mL),100%的患者对麻疹获得保护(GMC,2435 mIU/mL;95%置信区间,1724 - 3439 mIU/mL),100%的患者对C群脑膜炎球菌获得保护(GMT,1:5706;95%置信区间,1:3510 - 1:9272),92%的患者对3种脊髓灰质炎病毒血清型获得保护,≥80%的患者对每种七价肺炎球菌结合疫苗相关血清型获得保护。未发现与年龄、基础疾病或治疗类型相关的因素对反应有显著影响。
按照此再接种方案对小儿HSCT受者进行再接种可提供针对这些疫苗可预防疾病的高水平保护。
