title: [Why should we revaccinate children after stem cell transplantations?].
abstract: Stem cell transplantation is a procedure often used in treatment of proliferative and non-prolifarative diseases. Recipient's immunological system has been damaged during pretransplant and conditioning therapy: deprived from B- and T-cell mediated immunological response and memory cells. One of the prophylactic procedures against post-transplant infections in recipients is efficient and safe revaccination. In Poland so far there is no uniform revaccination schedule for stem cell transplantation recipients.
