A novel kindred with inherited STAT2 deficiency and severe viral illness
Autosomal recessive signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 (STAT2) deficiency was first reported in 2 siblings. One developed disseminated vaccine-strain measles following routine immunization with measles-mumps-rubella but recovered. The younger sibling died in infancy from a probable viral infection.1 Pedigree analysis showed incomplete clinical penetrance for the severe viral infection phenotype in this kindred, giving rise to questions regarding the completeness of the STAT2 defect.

Recurrent Immune Thrombocytopenia After Influenza Vaccination: A Case Report
We report a child with 3 occurrences of ITP, each within 1 week of receiving the influenza trivalent inactivated vaccine. He recovered fully in-between the episodes, and no further episodes have occurred since discontinuation of seasonal influenza vaccination. To the best of our knowledge, this report is the first showing, with high probability, the influenza vaccine as a cause for ITP in a pediatric patient.

More Kids Will Get Vaccinated Under New California Law
This piece comes to us courtesy of EdSource, where it was originally published. Mississippi hasn’t had a case of measles since 1992. West Virginia last saw measles – a highly contagious virus that kills an estimated 314 people worldwide every day – in 2009. Now, with California’s new vaccination law rolling out shot by shot, the state joins Mississippi and West Virginia to become the third in the nation to adopt stringent vaccination school entrance requirements. And medical experts say disease rates are likely to fall in California as they have in those states. “It’s a good club to...

Anti-rubella, Mumps and Measles IgG Antibodies in Medical Students of Tehran University.
In this study, in order to evaluate the protective responses against measles, mumps and rubella, the level and avidity of virus-specific IgG antibodies were measured in 53 medical students of Tehran University, aged between 20-30 years. Except for mumps vaccine, all the students had been vaccinated against measles and rubella according to Iran's nationwide mass vaccination protocol for all persons aged 5-25 in 2003. Our results showed that 96.2% of the volunteers had a protective level (>15 IU/ml) of IgG against rubella, 79.2% had a protective level (>11 IU/ml) of IgG against measles and 64.16% had a protective level...

Meet The Italian Doctor Using Facebook To Fight Anti-Vaxxers
Shocked by the growing number of children who die from vaccine-preventable diseases in Italy -- as well as stories of parents who refuse to vaccinate their kids -- a professor of microbiology and virology has decided to take on anti-vaxxers where they spread misinformation: on Facebook. For the more than 20,000 followers of his Facebook page, Dr. Roberto Burioni, a professor at the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University in Milan, Italy, explains the science behind vaccines and uses scientific data to refute rumors about their dangers. When he is not citing scientific studies, he pegs hi...

Vaccination and Induction of Autoimmune Diseases.
Abstract Vaccines have been suspected of playing a role in inducing autoimmune disease (AID) for a long time. However, apart from certain specific vaccine strains and complications (such as the swine flu vaccine and Guillain- Barré syndrome in 1976, thrombocytopenia and the Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine), this role has not been established. In spite of this, many isolated cases or series of cases of arthritis, vasculitis, and central or peripheral nervous system symptoms following vaccination have been reported. These cases tend to be very infrequent and usually only the short-term outcomes are described. This pa...

The Effect of Preventive Immunization on the Incidence of Allergic Conditions.
Abstract  The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of preventive immunization on the incidence of allergies in Poland.18617 (53.8% female, 24.2% 6-7 years old, 25.4% 13-14 years old, 50.4% 20-44 years old) were selected by stratified cluster sampling method in 8 cities and 1 rural area. 4783 of whom underwent objective outpatient screening assessments. Study subjects were evaluated for any association  between  preventive  immunization  against  rubella,  measles,  typhoid  fever, smallpox and incidence of atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, and asthma.There was no increased risk of allergy in...

General practice web-based decision aid improves MMR vaccination uptake
Commentary on: Tubeuf S, Edlin R, Shourie S, et al. Cost effectiveness of a web-based decision aid for parents deciding about MMR vaccination: a three-arm cluster randomized controlled trial in primary care. Br J Gen Pract 2014;64:e493–9. Implications for practice and research Decision aids can help inform parents about vaccine decisions for their children, which is critical in an age of vaccine hesitancy and refusal. Web-based decision aids may be a low-cost or free means of helping parents to understand the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination, supplementing information they receive from healthcare provide...

Developing aerosol vaccines for Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Workshop proceedings: April 9, 2014, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Bethesda, Maryland, USA.
Abstract On April 9, 2014, Aeras and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases convened a workshop entitled "Developing Aerosol Vaccines for Mycobacterium tuberculosis" in Bethesda, MD. The purpose of the meeting was to explore the potential for developing aerosol vaccines capable of preventing infection with M. tuberculosis (Mtb), preventing the development of active tuberculosis (TB) among those latently infected with Mtb, or as immunotherapy for persons with active TB. The workshop was organized around four key questions relevant to developing and assessing aerosol TB vaccines: (1) What is the c...
