The response to hepatitis A vaccine has not been studied in children with celiac disease (CD). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the immunogenicity of an inactivated hepatitis A virus (HAV) vaccine and the effect of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) type on immunogenicity in children with CD.
Thirty-three patients with CD and 62 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Inactivated HAV vaccine (Havrix; GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, Rixensart, Belgium) containing 720 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay units of alum-adsorbed hepatitis A antigen was administered intramuscularly in a 2-dose schedule at 0 and 6 months. Seroconversion rates and antibody titers of HAV were measured at 1 and 7 months.
At 1 month, seroconversion rates were 78.8% and 77.4% and geometric mean titers were 50.7 and 49.9 mIU/mL in the CD and control groups, respectively (P > 0.05). At 7 months, seroconversion rates were 97% and 98.4% and geometric mean titers were 138.5 and 133 mIU/mL in the CD and control groups, respectively (P > 0.05). The most frequent HLA types were HLA-DQ2, -DR3, and -DR7 alleles in patients with CD and HLA-DQ3, -DQ6, -DR11, and -DR14 in the controls. There was no association between HLA alleles and antibody titers of hepatitis A vaccine.
Children with CD have a good immune response to hepatitis A vaccine, similar to healthy controls.
尚未研究乳糜泻(CD)儿童对甲型肝炎疫苗的反应。本研究旨在评估灭活甲型肝炎病毒(HAV)疫苗的免疫原性以及人类白细胞抗原(HLA)类型对 CD 儿童免疫原性的影响。
本研究纳入了 33 名 CD 患儿和 62 名健康对照者。采用肌内注射的方式,以 0 和 6 个月为间隔,为患儿和对照者接种 2 剂含 720 酶联免疫吸附测定单位的铝吸附甲型肝炎抗原的灭活 HAV 疫苗(Havrix;葛兰素史克生物制品公司,比利时里克斯桑特)。于 1 个月和 7 个月时测量 HAV 的血清转化率和抗体滴度。
1 个月时,CD 组和对照组的血清转化率分别为 78.8%和 77.4%,几何平均滴度分别为 50.7 和 49.9 mIU/mL(P>0.05)。7 个月时,CD 组和对照组的血清转化率分别为 97%和 98.4%,几何平均滴度分别为 138.5 和 133 mIU/mL(P>0.05)。CD 患儿最常见的 HLA 类型为 HLA-DQ2、-DR3 和 -DR7 等位基因,而对照组则为 HLA-DQ3、-DQ6、-DR11 和 -DR14。HLA 等位基因与甲型肝炎疫苗的抗体滴度之间无关联。
CD 患儿对甲型肝炎疫苗有良好的免疫反应,与健康对照者相似。
