Purpose
To estimate causation of adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports, causality methods were developed from a theoretical perspective. In daily practice, not all information is relevant or available, decreasing the applicability. We developed a new causality documentation tool (CausDoc) where an algorithm is combined with expert judgement. The aim of this study is to test the validity and reliability...
We studied the epidemiology of varicella (chickenpox) and herpes zoster (shingles) in The Netherlands to assess the desirability to implement routine varicella zoster virus vaccination in The Netherlands. Data on seroprevalence of varicella zoster virus in the general population (1995–1996), consultations of general practitioners for varicella (2000–2002) and herpes zoster (1998–2001) and hospital...
Conventional hepatitis B vaccines do not elicit adequate antibody production in 5–10% vaccinees. This trial tests the ability of a third-generation vaccine, containing PreS1 and PreS2 antigens in addition to the S antigen, to elicit seroprotective titres in documented non- and low-responders, compared with those to a conventional vaccine. In the primary population of non-responders (<10IU/l anti-HBs...
A clinical phase II trial with the RIVM hexavalent OMV vaccine containing six different PorAs was carried out in toddlers (2–3 years) and schoolchildren (7–8 years) in The Netherlands. Children were vaccinated three times (0, 2, 8 months). Sera after two and three vaccinations were analysed for serum bactericidal activity (SBA) and isotype distribution in whole cell enzyme linked immunosorbent assay...
