Ocena rekonstytucji immunologicznej w kontek ście podejmowania decyzji o wznowieniu szczepień ochronnych u dzieci i młodych dorosłych po przeszczepieniu komórek krwiotwórczych: analiza codziennej praktyki klinicznej
Conclusions Immunological reconstitution analysis after HSCT was delayed in 81.5% of patients. In order to improve the effectiveness of the post-HSCT vaccination program, it seems appropriate to accelerate the first immunological evaluation and to differentiate the recommendations according to the type of transplantation and post-HSCT therapy, i.e. 3−6 months after auto-HSCT or last phase of oncological treatment and 6-12 months after allo-HSCT.

Conclusions: 1. Even during prolonged hospitalization at a neonatal intensive care unit, immunization with the DTPa vaccine should be performed in addition to vaccination against tuberculosis and HBV. 2. DTPa-IPV-Hib-HBV hexavalent vaccines provide an optimal solution for the implementation of immunization schedules, especially in preterm infants and – even more so – preterm infants with extremely low birth weight. 3. Results from the monitoring of episodes of apnea, bradycardia and saturation levels before and after vaccination at the neonatal ward provide valuable information to the physician that continues vaccinati...

(3) The BHC value in the Masovian cohort did not differ from the standards set by the WHO or the standards published in Poland. A tendency for the BHC to increase with a simultaneous decrease in the BL has been obser...
