Abstract
ABSTRACT: Celiac patients have an increased risk for severe influenza infection and they respond less to certain vaccine types. During the influenza A/H1N1/09 pandemic we prospectively investigated pandemic vaccine responses in 14 pediatric celiac patients and age-/sex-matched controls. All celiac children reached protective antibody titers (≥40) and showed a geometric mean titer comparable to the control group (GMT 530 versus 573).
