Resumo

Live vaccinia vaccine can cause progressive vaccinia and other severe complications in immunocompromised patients. Corticosteroid immunosuppression increases this risk and may reduce vaccine take.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

Hydrocortisone and Smallpox vaccine live are not normally used together. Taking them at the same time is expected to cause harm or make one of them unsafe, so a different medicine is usually chosen for one of the two.

Nível de evidência: Moderate

Por que acontece

Corticosteroid-induced immunosuppression allows uncontrolled replication of live vaccinia virus.

O que fazer

Avoid in patients on immunosuppressive corticosteroids unless the benefit clearly outweighs risk, such as in post-exposure outbreak settings, and seek specialist advice. Use a non-replicating vaccine if available.
