[Vaccination of cystic fibrosis patients].
Vaccination guidelines in patients with cystic fibrosis associate the usual vaccination schedule with specific recommendations concerning influenza, Pneumococcus, viral hepatitis A and B and varicella. Live attenuated vaccines are not contra-indicated but must be administered before pulmonary transplantation. Clinical studies evaluating vaccine efficacy in this population are still necessary. Development of new vaccines against respiratory infections (Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Syncitial Respiratory Virus in particular) is an important challenge for the medical management of these patients.
