[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] yellow fever vaccine

[CIS-PIDD]

Dear sir -

If your patient responded to pneumococcal vaccine, does not have hypogammaglobulinemia, and hasn't had issue with prior live vaccines, I would think that the yellow fever vaccine should be tolerated well and is probably advisable.

Has he received and tolerated zostavax?

Best regards,
Mike

Subject: [cis-pidd] yellow fever vaccine


I have a patient who is a 50 year old man with S. aureus chronic rhinosinusitis with polyps.  He has been diagnosed with selective antibody deficiency, mild phenotype (responded to 20/23 serotypes).   His immunoglobulin  levels and IgG subtypes were normal, and he apparently responded to DT. I have not yet obtained the actual results yet from the DT.  CD3,4,8 were normal.  He was started on IgG replacement because he was not responsive to any other treatment.  There has been some improvement.

The patient is traveling to Ethiopia for which the live yellow fever vaccine is recommended.  The ID person who follows him is reluctant to give him the vaccination given his immunodeficiency diagnosis.  My thoughts are that since this would be considered a mild antibody deficiency, it would be advisable to give it.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Sincerely,
