Vaccinations in Adult Dermatology Patients
Journal Title: Türk Dermatoloji Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 4
Abstract
It is known that, susceptibility to infections may increase in dermatologic diseases due to the disease itself or the immunosuppressive/immunomodulatory treatments used. In clinical practice, many treatment options are used in chronic diseases, ranging from the long-standing, well-known immunosuppressive therapies to the numerous biological agents that have come into use in recent years. In dermatology, these kinds of drugs are frequently incorporated into the treatments of patients with psoriasis, pemphigus, bullous pemphigoid and other autoimmune bullous diseases. Although many infections are vaccine preventable, the importance of vaccines in adult dermatology patients undergoing such treatments is not sufficiently known. As every encounter with a patient is an opportunity to advise appropriate immunizations, this review focuses on immunizing adult dermatology patients with special emphasis on the patients using immunosuppressive treatments.
