Clinical and immunologic risk factors for meningococcal C conjugate vaccine failure in the United Kingdom.
BACKGROUND The meningococcal serogroup C conjugate (MCC) vaccine was introduced into the United Kingdom with licensure based on immunogenicity data not efficacy data. METHODS All subjects with laboratory-confirmed meningococcal serogroup C (MenC) disease from January 2000 to December 2003 in England and Wales were followed up.

متن کاملImmunologic memory in Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine failure.
AIMS To compare the convalescent antibody response to invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) disease between conjugate vaccine immunised and unimmunised children, to look for evidence of priming for immunologic memory. METHODS Unmatched case-control study in the UK and Eire 1992-2001 and Victoria, Australia 1988-1990. A total of 93 children were identified as having invasive Hib disease...
متن کاملClinical risk factors associated with extubation failure in ventilated neonates.
We conducted this study to find out the incidence of extubation failure (EF) in ventilated neonates and associated clinical risk factors. Eighty two ventilated neonates were followed up to 48 hours post extubation to look for EF. Twenty two babies (26.8%) had EF. The common risk factors for EF were presence of patent ductus arteriosus, post-extubation lung collapse and acquired pneumonia. The d...
متن کاملRisk factors associated with severe influenza infections in childhood: implication for vaccine strategy.
UNLABELLED Infections caused by influenza virus lead to an excess rate of hospitalization of children during winter months. Current recommendations for vaccination target only children >6 months who belong to specific risk groups. OBJECTIVE To identify possible benefits of universal influenza vaccination, this study aims to determine characteristics of children hospitalized at the Montreal Ch...
متن کاملHaemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine (meningococcal protein conjugate) (PedvaxHIB): clinical evaluation.
Although systemic infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b occur worldwide, detailed epidemiologic data are available in but a few countries. The public health impact of morbidity, mortality, and serious sequelae from disease caused by H influenzae type b has stimulated the search for control strategies. In the United States now, active immunoprophylaxis is largely favored over treatm...
