ABSTRACTAdult chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis are at an increased risk of invasive Haemophilus influenzaetype b (Hib) disease due to the lack of functionally active anti-Hib antibodies. The pediatric Hib polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccine is highly immunogenic in these patients and can provide protection against invasive Hib infection for at least 1 year. |
