Abstract

Abstract Anamnestic 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine immunization did not affect the relapse risk in pediatric idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. Pneumococcal serotype (PS)-specific antibody titers increased significantly in all groups. Children receiving immunomodulatory treatments (IMTs) displayed significantly lower levels of PS-specific antibodies for 3/8 serotypes tested. PS-specific B-cell counts significantly increased only in healthy controls and patients receiving corticosteroids.
