[Recommendations about immunizations in patients with inborn errors of immunity].

Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are a heterogeneous group of hereditary disorders that affect in number and/or function different components of the immune system, resulting in an increased risk and severity of infections, autoimmune diseases, allergic manifestations, autoinflammation and malignancy. Inactivated vaccines are generally safe in these patients, but may be ineffective in some cases, due to difference in immunogenicity. However, live viral and bacterial vaccines may lead to disease, with high morbidity and mortality, so it is essential a previous immunological work-out. In this document, the Pediatric Immunology Work Group of the Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría summarizes recommendations about immunizations in patients with IEI, their household contacts, as well as in patients under immunosuppressive treatment and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.
