which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Regarding the letter to our article (1) entitled " Do We Have to Shift Three Doses of Hepatitis B Vaccine Instead of Four doses in Chronic Renal Failure: Think before Action " (2), it should be considered that we hypothesized " four doses of 40 μg may be better than three ...

Do We Have to Shift Three Doses of Hepatitis B Vaccine Instead of Four Doses in Chronic Renal Failure: Think Before Action

which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. I read with interest the recently published article written by Ahmadi et al. in Hepatitis Monthly. The authors found that four doses of 40 μg did not lead to significantly more seroconversion than three doses of 20 μg in chronic renal failure patients (CKD) not on dialysis...

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 ...

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 an enhanced regimen (4 dos...

Comparison of Immunogenicity and Safety of Four Doses and Four Double Doses vs. Standard Doses of Hepatitis B Vaccination in HIV-Infected Adults: A Randomized, Controlled Trial

BACKGROUND HBV vaccination is recommended in HIV-infected adults with CD4+ cell count >200/mm(3) although the efficacy is only 33.3% -65%. We conducted a randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three regimens of HBV vaccination at Chiang Mai University Hospital, Thailand. METHODS From February 4, 2011 to May 4, 2012, 132 HIV-infected adults with CD4+ cell counts >2...
