Vaccination effective in spite of immune disease
Rheumatism, inflammatory bowel disease and psoriasis are examples of diseases which trigger a false, excessive immune reaction and which require treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs. Researchers from the German Centre for Immunotherapy (DZI; spokespersons: Prof. Dr. Markus F. Neurath and Prof. Dr. med.univ. Georg Schett) at Universitätsklinikum Erlangen, have investigated how well these patients respond to a coronavirus vaccine. Their study is one of the first in the world to explore this topic and provide results. The study has now been published in the journal ‘Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases’.
