ABSTRACT
Varicella infection may cause significant morbidity and mortality especially in immunocompromised persons. Children with chronic liver disease who undergo liver transplantation and need long term immunosuppressive therapy are at risk to acquire the infection. Twenty-nine children (aged 1-12 years) with chronic liver disease were enrolled to receive one dose of live attenuated varicella vaccine (Oka-strain). During the 16-week follow-up period, no vaccine-related serious adverse events were reported. Seroconversion rates at 8 weeks post vaccination were 100%. Geometric mean titer (GMT) values and seropositive rates at 16 weeks tended to relate to the clinical severity of liver disease. This study demonstrates that varicella vaccine is safe and Immunogenic in children with chronic liver disease.
