Résumé

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The vaccination rate against hepatitis B virus (HBV) is low in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. The Consensus from the European Crohn's and Colitis Organisation on opportunistic infections recommends testing all IBD patients for HBV at diagnosis and vaccinating all HBV-negative patients. We compared the efficacy of HBV vaccine between IBD patients and healthy controls and investigated the impact of immunosuppressive therapy on vaccine response in IBD patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: IBD patients and healthy adult workers were vaccinated against HBV following a standard protocol (at 0, 1, and 6 months; Engerix B). The efficacy of vaccination was evaluated at 8 months by a titer of antibodies against hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs). RESULTS: Among 164 participants (96 with IBD and 68 healthy workers), the level of anti-HBs was greater than 10 IU/l in 80.2 and 94.1% (P=0.0115) of IBD patients and healthy controls, respectively, and anti-HBs levels greater than 100 IU/l were seen in 45.8 versus 77.9% (P
