Parasitic infections during pregnancy need not affect infant antibody responses to early vaccination against < i > Streptococcus pneumoniae < /i > , diphtheria, or < i > Haemophilus influenzae < /i > type B
Conclusions/SignificanceThese findings are in contrast with results from our prior cohort study performed when preventive anti-parasite treatment was less frequently given. The results suggest that the treatment of maternal infections in pregnancy may be able to moderate the previously observed effect of antenatal maternal infections on infant vaccine responses.
