IMMUNOGENICITY OF LOW-DOSE INTRAMUSCULAR AND INTRADERMAL VACCINATION WITH RECOMBINANT HEPATITIS B VACCINE

Immunogenicity of low dose intradermal hepatitis B vaccine and its comparison with standard dose intramuscular vaccination.

OBJECTIVE A prospective study was carried out in the well baby and immunization clinics of tertiary care hospital to compare the immunogenicity of low dose hepatitis B vaccine (HBV) given intradermally versus standard dose given intramuscularly. METHODS One hundred ninety six term, healthy, Australia antigen negative and exclusively breast fed babies were allocated into two groups in a simple...

comparison of immunogenicity of low-dose intradermal hepatitis b vaccine with the standard-dose intramuscular vaccination in young healthy iranian adults

Low-dose intradermal and subcutaneous versus intramuscular hepatitis B vaccination in primary non-responding hemodialysis patients.

OBJECTIVE Patients with end-stage renal failure are at high risk of hepatitis B virus (HB V) infection. They have impaired immune response to HBV intramuscular (i.m.) vaccine. Non-response (anti HBs titer < 100mIU/ml) hemodialysis patients (HD) with the previous three-dose i.m. vaccination were examined with booster dose vaccine by i.m. , intradermal (i.d) and subcutaneous (s.c.) routes. MATE...

Comparing immune response of intradermal low dose versus intramuscular high dose of hepatitis B vaccination in hemodialysis patients

BACKGROUND Hepatitis B is the most important cause of cirrhosis in developing countries. Hemodialysis patients are susceptible to infection due to repeated contact with dialysis machines and blood products. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of intradermal low dose with intramuscular high dose hepatitis B vaccination in hemodialysis patients. METHODS In a cross-sectional study ...

Immunogenicity of Four Doses of Double-Strength Intramuscular Hepatitis B

Background: Hepatitis B virus potentially accelerates graft rejection and mortality in renal transplantation population. Vaccination of graft candidates without prior immunization against HBV seems essential before transplantation but some candidates of transplantation have not received HBV vaccine at the time of receiving graft. We aimed to evaluate immunogenicity of ...
