Yellow Fever Vaccine (YFV) for Patients with Egg Allergy: Protocol Proposal.
The current yellow fever epidemic in Brazil has already 1,266 confirmed cases and 415 deaths by 2018-July. Vaccination is the most effective measure of protection against this disease. However, YFV shows ovalbumin levels (>2 μg/ml) not considered safe for patients with egg allergy (EA). Our objective was to describe the vaccination protocol using the Brazilian YFV in EA patients attended in a Reference Allergy Center and to relate the YFV skin tests (ST) to the clinical manifestations reported.
