Antibody response to tetanus, diphtheria, poliomyelitis, hepatitis B, and H. influenzae b vaccines in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant adult recipients: A multicenter trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

National and international guidelines recommend vaccinating hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients, although relatively few studies have evaluated immunogenicity in adults. We therefore aimed to assess the immune response in adult allogeneic HSCT recipients vaccinated against tetanus, diphtheria, poliomyelitis, hepatitis B, and H. influenzae b.

Method

We conducted a multicenter prospective study. HSCT recipients were included at least 6 months post-transplantation (maximum: 24 months) if blood CD19 + lymphocytes were ≥0.1 G/L and plasma immunoglobulin ≥ 4g/L, and if no immunosuppressive therapy was applied. They received the hexavalent pediatric combination vaccine for tetanus, diphtheria, poliomyelitis, hepatitis B, and H. influenzae b (and pertus
