Efficacy of Accelerated Versus Standard Regiment of Hepatitis B Virus Vaccine Among Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients

Summary

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract that includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) . They mainly affect young populations, altering their quality of life and increasing morbidity, compared to the general population . The etiology and pathogenesis of IBD are still poorly understood. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients are at an increased risk of contracting and developing complications from hepatitis B virus (HBV) due to their weakened immune systems and frequent use of immunosuppressive medications. The traditional HBV vaccine regimen requires three doses over six months to achieve full immunity, which can be challenging for IBD patients who may have difficulty adhering to the schedule or may not respond well to the vaccine
