To investigate the humoral immune response to measles, rubella, and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) vaccines in biliary atresia (BA) children before liver transplantation, we conducted the cross-sectional designed study. Fifty BA children (age, 3.6±0.2 years; 24 girls) who had not yet received liver transplantation, and another 150 healthy controls (age, 4.0±0.1 years; 78 girls) were recruited into this...
The development of the rubella vaccine and vaccination strategy in Japan was unique. Five rubella vaccines used in Japan were licensed, and the rubella vaccination program to schoolgirls was started in 1977. The measles-mumps-rubella vaccination to children, which was started in 1989, was terminated in 1993 due to the adverse effect of aseptic meningitis. In 1994, rubella vaccination to children,...
To eliminate the indigenous measles and rubella virus by 2012 in Japan, the strategy for prevention of measles and rubella prevalence with measles-rubella (MR) vaccine was proposed. Since the vast majority of 1-year old infants are susceptible to measles and rubella, the first MR vaccine should be administered at 1-year old to sustain the herd immunity. Since significant elevation of measles and rubella...
Studies on measles vaccine development started in 1950s in Japan. After 3-year studies on development of further attenuated live measles vaccines by Japan Measles Vaccine Research Commission, two kinds of vaccines of different strains were licensed for optional use in 1971. In 1978, periodical immunization against measles was started using BIKEN CAM-70 vaccine, Takeda Schwarz-FF8 vaccine and Kitasato...
An 11-year-old female patient, whose systemic type juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) had maintained in remission for the previous 4 years while taking only a small amounts of ibuprofen, showed an abrupt 2nd relapse with congestive heart failure five days after receiving a live-attenuated rubella vaccine, which was a primary immunization. Her serum levels of anti-rubella IgM and IgG antibodies increased,...
