  • Title: Immunogenicity of pneumococcal vaccine in heart transplant recipients.
    Author: Blumberg EA, Brozena SC, Stutman P, Wood D, Phan HM, Musher DM.
    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 2001 Jan 15; 32(2):307-10. PubMed ID: 11170924.
    Abstract:
    To assess the immunogenicity of pneumococcal vaccine in recipients of heart transplants, we immunized 35 long-term transplantation survivors with pneumococcal vaccine and measured the pre- and postvaccination IgG antibody titers to 5 representative vaccine capsular polysaccharides. Responses of heart transplant recipients to pneumococcal vaccine antigens were generally suppressed.
