Vaccination in adults with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases
2016
Abstract There is an increased risk of infections in patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIRDs). The risk is more due to immune dysfunction and increased use of immunosuppressive drugs (mainly with the introduction of biologicals). Some of these are vaccine-preventable infections. In this narrative review we have appraised the recent literature on vaccinations in AIRDs along with relevant recommendations available in India.
