| Summary: | The article is dedicated to an extremely important issue of pediatric nephrology and pediatric transplantology – vaccination of children with chronic kidney disease for prevention of vaccine-manageable infections. Commonplace and often mild (in healthy children) viral and bacterial infections in the patients on immunosuppressive therapy may cause development of life-threatening conditions and loss of a transplant in children with transplanted kidneys. There are no common vaccination protocols for such children neither in Russia nor in any other country. Moreover, it is presumed that vaccination should not take place in children with chronic renal diseases, especially in the stage of renal failure; however, in many cases it is unreasonable. The authors present personal experience of children’s vaccination before and after kidney transplantation. |
