Resumo
Measles vaccine contains live attenuated virus, which can replicate without control in a patient immunosuppressed by melphalan. This can lead to disseminated vaccine-virus disease, and the vaccine response is also reduced.
O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
Measles vaccine and Melphalan 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.
Por que acontece
Chemotherapy-induced immunosuppression allows unchecked replication of live attenuated virus and impairs the vaccine response.
O que fazer
Avoid live vaccines during melphalan therapy and for at least 3 months after it ends, subject to immune recovery. Give live vaccines at least 4 weeks before starting chemotherapy when possible.
