[h=3]Abstract[/h] [h=4]BACKGROUND:[/h] We investigated the pattern of reported immune diseases in the ASIA registry.
[h=4]METHODS:[/h] Data from 500 subjects exposed to adjuvants from the ASIA syndrome international registry were analysed.
[h=4]RESULTS:[/h] The patient mean age was 43 ? 17 years and 89% were female. Within the reported immune diseases 69% were well defined autoimmune diseases (autoimmune, autoinflammation, and mixed pattern diseases). Among the well-defined immune diseases following the exposure to adjuvants, polygenic autoimmune diseases were significantly higher that autoinflammatory disorders (92.7% vs 5.8%, respectively, p < 0.001). Polygenic autoimmune diseases such as connective tissue diseases were significantly linked with the exposure to HBV vaccine (OR 3.15 [95%CI 1.08-9.23], p = 0.036). Polygenic autoinflammatory diseases were significantly associated with the exposure to influenza vaccination (OR 10.98 [95%CI 3.81-31.67], p < 0.0001).
[h=4]CONCLUSIONS:[/h] Immune conditions following vaccination are rare, and among these, polygenic autoimmune diseases represent the majority of the well-defined immune diseases reported under the umbrella ASIA syndrome. However, vaccines benefit outweighs their autoimmune side effects.
