  • Title: [Evaluation of active immunization against viral hepatitis B in patients on hemodialysis at the National Institute of Health for the Uranium Industry in Príbram].
    Author: Benes R, Stipl Z, Halvová D, Simotová J.
    Journal: Cas Lek Cesk; 1991 Mar 01; 130(9):269-71. PubMed ID: 2025902.
    Abstract:
    The authors focused their attention on one of the key problems of haemodialyzation departments--the incidence of viral hepatitis B. They tried to influence the main reservoir of the disease, i. e. the spread of the disease among dialyzed patients. In the investigated group passive and active immunization was used according to the recommended pattern. The required effect of a more permanent adequate rise of antibody levels [table: see text] was not achieved. With this corresponded also the clinical correlation, i. e. the incidence of manifest hepatitis B in dialyzed patients. It will be necessary to elaborate another method of immunization with regard to the impaired immunity system of these patients.
