Abstract:
Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome is the most common glomerulopathy diagnosed in children. Pathogenesis of the syndrome, frequent hospitalizations and immunosuppressive treatment cause that children with this disease belong to the high risk group in relation to frequency and severity of infection. It is therefore essential to take into consideration the vaccination of these patients. The immunization of a child may be connected with several complications including the relapse or exacerbation of the basic disease. There is still too little data which vaccinations are safe, in which period of the disease the child can be vaccinated and what is the influence of the used treatment on its efficiency. The study shows the present state of knowledge concerning the usage of some obligatory and recommended vaccinations in the group of children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome.
