which vaccine will be given to a HIV+ immuno compromised pt
a.sabin
b.measles
c.adeno virus
d.none of above
e.any of above

  #2

i think none of above as only killed or component vaccinations are safe if given in immunocomprmised patients

  #3

nod

  #4

i m sure that MMR vaccine is given in HIV + pt. but i dont know at what immunity level its given, i mean to say at what cd4+ count it is safe.
so remember that in HIV + natural infection of these viruses is worse than what the vaccine virus will cause.
so it is given. note it.wink

  #5

yes......
MMR given in immunocompromised patients or children..
it is wise to have a vaccine borne infection rather than a natural one.....when the person has high risk of contracting the disease reason was simple as the incidence severity and complications of both are different.

and yes no change in the schedule of vaccination in immunocompromised individuals....
