[Antipneumococcal vaccination in patient with systemic lupus erythematosus].

Unlabelled: The objective of the study was to evaluate antibody response, autoantibodies induction and disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients after polyvalent pneumococcal vaccination.

Systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) and specific IgG antibodies against pneumococcus were measured before and after vaccination.
