[Cases of ineffective anti-hepatitis B vaccination--own observations].
Between 1999-2001 there were 6 patients with acute hepatitis B, previously vaccinated according to the recommended schedule of anti-hepatitis B immunization for adults, hospitalized in the Department of Infectious Diseases (Bytom, Silesian University Medical School). The study presents epidemiological and clinical analysis of these cases. Special attention is paid to possibility of immune response failure in spite of anti-hepatitis B vaccination. It is emphasized, that efficiency of active hepatitis B prophylaxis should be verified by estimation of serum anti-HBs antibodies, especially in patients with planned surgery.
