Background and Aims
The safety and antibody responses of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) vaccination in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) virus infection is still unclear, and exploration in safety and antibody responses of COVID‐19 vaccination in CHB patients is significant in clinical practice.
Methods
362 adult CHB patients and 87 healthy controls at an interval of at least 21 days after a full‐course vaccination (21–105 days) were enrolled. Adverse events (AEs) were collected by questionnaire. The antibody profiles at 1, 2 and 3 months were elucidated by determination of anti‐spike IgG, anti‐receptor‐binding domain (RBD) IgG, and RBD‐angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 blocking antibody. SARS‐CoV‐2 specific B cells were also analysed.
Results
All AEs were mild and self‐limiting, and the incidence was similar between CHB patients and controls. Seropositivity rates of three antibodies were similar between CHB patients and healthy controls at 1, 2 and 3 months, but CHB patients had lower titers of three antibodies at 1 month. Compared to healthy controls, HBeAg‐positive CHB patients had higher titers of three antibodies at 3 months (all P < .05) and a slower decline in antibody titers. Frequency of RBD‐specific B cells was positively correlated with titers of anti‐RBD IgG (OR = 1.067, P = .004), while liver cirrhosis, antiviral treatment, levels of HBV DNA, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and total bilirubin (TB) were not correlated with titers of anti‐RBD IgG.
Conclusions
Inactivated COVID‐19 vaccines were well tolerated, and induced effective antibody response against SARS‐CoV‐2 in CHB patients.
Children developed retinoblastoma at a young age. Early diagnosis is difficult. Key factors of clinical treatment and long survival rate were diagnosis and treatment at the early stage with multidisciplinary methods.
To our knowledge, this is first such study in breast cancer patients to be undertaken in China. Abraxane® was associated with fewer acute adverse drug reactions and significant reductions in health care resources, physician/nurse time and overall drug delivery costs compared to Taxol®.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
