Hepatitis B Virus, Pneumococcal, Diphtheria, and Tetanus Vaccination Responses in Compensated Cirrhosis

Key Points

To assess the immunological responses to various vaccines in individuals with compensated cirrhosis.
Evaluated vaccination responses to hepatitis B, pneumococcal, diphtheria, and tetanus vaccines.
Compared responses to healthy subjects.
Weak responses observed to hepatitis B, tetanus, and diphtheria vaccines.
Acceptable immunological response to the pneumococcal vaccine, yet lower than that of healthy individuals.

Abstract

Our study highlights a weak response to the hepatitis B, tetanus, and diphtheria vaccines and an acceptable immunological response to the pneumococcal vaccine, although lower than in healthy subjects. There is a real need to optimise vaccination in cirrhotics.
