[Effect of vaccination against pneumococcal infection in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus].
Vaccination with polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine "Pneumo 23" (Sanofi Pasteur, France) was performed in 31 children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) as well as in 19 children with respiratory tract diseases (asthma, chronic pneumonia), which formed comparison group. Fourty-three unvaccinated children with DM1 were included in the control group. Dynamics of IgG levels to mixture of pneumococcal polysaccharides (PS) included in the vaccine as well as to PS of serotypes 3, 6B, 9N, 23F, and to cell wall polysaccharides of Streptococcus pneumoniae were assessed. Using ELISA method, significant increase of IgG levels to mixture of PS and to PS of pneumococcal serotype 3 was detected. Although intensity of immune response to vaccination in children with respiratory diseases was significantly higher compared to children with DM1 (mean geometric titer of antibodies, proportion of patients with high antibody titers, and with 4-fold seroconversion). Development of methods to strengthen immune response in children with DM1 vaccinated against pneumococcal infection is required.
