Abstract
Introduction: Inactivated influenza vaccination is recommended yearly for patients with inflammatory bowel disease on immunosuppressive therapy. Aim: The aim of our study was to evaluate the immune response to seasonal influenza vaccination in patients with inflammatory bowel disease treated with immunosuppressants. Patients and methods: Thirty patients were enrolled in this prospective study. Each patient was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease and treated with immunosuppressants. Blood samples were obtained from patients before and one month after influenza vaccination (A/California/7/2009(H1N1), A/Perth/16/2009(H3N2) B/Brisbane/60/2008) to assess the pre-and postimmunization antibody titers. Virus-specific antibodies were measured by ELISA. Results: The vaccine acceptance rate was 53.3%. Local adverse effect occurred in 5 patients. Seven patients developed systemic adverse events. Influenza-like symptoms occurred in 2 patients, although their antibody titers failed to increase significantly. Antibodies to influenza viruses were detected in each patient before the vaccination. Conclusion: The results confirmed that each patient had appropriate antibody titer as correlation of protection even before the immunisation. Seroprotection rates were not influenced by the vaccination. The vaccine seemed to be safe. Orv. Hetil., 2012, 153, 1870-1874.
