- Title
Immunization and the Prevention of Influenza andPneumococcal Disease in People With Diabetes.
- Abstract
The rationale for the use of influenza and pneumococcal vaccine in patients with diabetes is reviewed in the American Diabetes Association technical review "Use of Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccine in People with Diabetes." Patients with diabetes may have abnormalities in immune function and presumed increased morbidity and mortality from infection. Epidemiological studies support the fact that patients with diabetes, in particular those with end organ complications of cardiac and renal disease, are at high risk for complications, hospitalization, and death from influenza and pneumococcal disease.
