The article presents the results of an open comparative randomized clinical study on the assessment of the reactogenicity, safety and immunogenicity of the domestic vaccine "EntseVir®" with reduced antigenic load in immunization of children aged 3 to 17 years on the schedule for 0-60 days. The vaccine is characterized by the low reactogenicity, high safety profile and immunogenicity. On main indices, it is not inferior to foreign vaccine «FSME-Immun Inject / Junior».
Aim. To study the duration and tension of the postvaccinal pneumococcal immunity in HIV-positive patients, immunized with polysaccharide vaccine.
Materials and methods. One hundred HIV-infected patients (age range 20 to 50 years) with stages 3 and 4 A of disease, having the number of CD4+ T-lymphocytes in blood not less than 440 mcl–1, were immunized with polysaccharide 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine.
Results. The maximum effect regarding polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine immunization of HIV-positive persons was established at the stage 3 of disease. When immunizing HIV-positive patients with stage 4 A and decrease in CD4+- T-lymphocytes to 310 [300; 330] cells per mcl-1, the effect resulting from immunization reduced.
Conclusions. Taking into account the revealed maximum effect of immunization of HIV-positive patients with polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine at the stage 3 of disease, this risk group should be immunized at the earlier periods of infectious process development. HIV-positive patients with the stage 4 A and decrease in CD4+ – T- blood lymphocytes to 310 [300;330] cells per mcl–1 should receive antiretroviral therapy followed by revaccination.
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.
