heal.abstractThe kinetics of the immune response to the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV) were studied in 38 children who received bone marrow transplants (BMTs). Anti-pneumococcal antibody concentrations increased 1 and 3 months after vaccination for all 5 serotypes tested, but, in 21 children, the vaccine was not adequately immunogenic. Children vaccinated <18 months after receiving a BMT had a 4.2-fold increased odds of poor response (P=. 06). Antibody concentrations returned close to baseline levels 9 months after vaccination. Avidity declined significantly as early as 1 month after vaccination and remained low thereafter. Antibody concentration responses to PPV were superior among 9 healthy control children (P=.001); 37 of 38 children with a BMT elicited adequate, persistent immune responses to Haemophilus influenzae conjugate vaccine. Immune responses to PPV in children with a BMT are suboptimal, short lived, and associated with declining avidity. The different kinetics of antibody concentration and avidity indicate that both markers should be used for evaluating pneumococcal vaccines in this high-risk population.en
