4. 2. Pneumococcal vaccination in inflammatory rheumatic disease. Antibody response and protection against infections

   Author : Johanna Nagel; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vaccination; pneumococci; inflammatory rheumatic disease;

   Abstract : AbstractObjectives: Patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs) have higher risk of serious infections than healthy individuals due to their illness, comorbidities and treatments. Streptococcus pneumoniae is responsible for 30-50% of community aquired pneumonia in Europe. READ MORE

5. 3. Understanding inflammatory mechanisms in rheumatic diseases

   Author : Ia Khmaladze; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Psoriasis (Ps) and Psoriasis arthritis (PsA) are chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorders, where primary targets are peripheral joints, skin and skin/joints respectively.

   Keywords : Human; rheumatic disease; synovial fluid; regulatory T cells; FOXP3; suppression; tolerance; autoimmunity;

   Abstract : CD25+CD4+ T cells represent a unique cell lineage of thymus derived naturally occurring regulatory T cells. The gene Foxp3 (mouse)/ FOXP3(human) is strictly related to their generation in the thymus and their regulatory function in the periphery. READ MORE

   Abstract : Objectives:The overall aim of the dissertation is to examine antibody response to immunization with pneumococcal vaccine in patients with inflammatory rheumatic disease (IRD), in relation to disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) treatments, and in postsplenectomy patients.Methods:(I) Splenectomized patients without previous pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) immunization were invited to receive one dose 13-valent PCV (PCV13).
