ABSTRACT
Introduction. The issue of protection against vaccine-preventable diseases has acquired new urgency in connection with the decrease in the vaccination rate established by WHO against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic. This creates the conditions for outbreaks and puts patients with immunopathological diseases at particular risk, who are most often not vaccinated from the moment of diagnosis Purpose of the study – to assess the safety of specific antibodies to measles, mumps, rubella and diphtheria in children with JIA, depending on the duration of vaccination, the duration of the disease and the therapy received. Materials and methods. The vaccination rate of 171 children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) aged (11,31±0,31 years) with the duration of the disease at the time of examination was 4,69±0,29 years, who had previously received 1-2 vaccinations against measles, mumps, rubella and 3-6 vaccinations against diphtheria. Antibodies to these infections were determined by ELISA. Results. 42.1% of children had no protective titers of antibodies to measles, 19,9% – to mumps, 9,4% – to rubella and 16,4% – to diphtheria. Among 93 vaccinated and revaccinated patients, there were no protective titers of antibodies to measles – 40,9% (38 children), mumps – 13,9% (13 people), rubella – 5,4% (5 children), and among 78 vaccinated once, respectively measles – 43.6% (34 children), mumps – 25.6% (20 children), rubella – 14,1% (11). The level of protection against diphtheria was comparable for those who received 3-5 vaccinations. Depending on the therapy, 3 groups were identified group 1-71 children received metatrexate and glucocorticosteroids, 2-82 children received modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARD) and 18 children without this therapy (Group 3). Children of the 2nd group were on average older (12,48±0,42 years) than in the 1st and 3rd groups (10,04±0,48 and 10,96±0,96 years, respectively), they had significantly more frequent systemic variant and polyarthritis (64,6% compared to 36,6% and 16,7%, px2<0,001). The number of vaccine doses received by children in all groups before the onset of the disease did not significantly differ. The average level of antibodies to measles in children of group 2 (0,32±0,07 IU/ml) was 2,8 times less than in group 3 and significantly less than in group 1 (0,78±0,16, Pt=0.009), the average value of antibodies to rubella was also significantly less in group 2 (84,48±7,34 IU/ml) than in group 1 (109,73±8,09, Pt=0,022) and in group 3 (120,01±15,42, Pt=0,042). The analysis showed that the safety of antibodies to antigens of live vaccines, especially against measles, is negatively affected by the duration of the disease and the nature of therapy. Children who received combined therapy with anti-TNF, anti-IL-6 and anti-CD-80 drugs had a longer duration of the disease (7,5±0,97 years)=0,00082 compared to those who received only anti-IL-6 (2,9±0,7 years) and anti-TNF therapy (6,1±0,5 years) and with a comparable number of vaccine doses received, significantly lower average values of antibodies and a larger number of unprotected ones. Conclusions. The duration of the disease, the lack of timely age-related revaccinations, as well as the presence of combination therapy aimed at suppressing various mechanisms of the immune response in children with JIA are factors that lead to an increase in the number of unprotected from controlled infections. Immunity to measles suffers the most – 40.9% of revaccinated people are unprotected.
