Abstract
Considering the reported cases of invasive pneumococcal disease in advanced chronic kidney disease patients, in May 2017 the Steering Board of the Croatian Society of Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation (CSNDT) of the Croatian Medical Association issued a decision on the preparation of Guidelines for the prevention of pneumococcal diseases in patients with chronic kidney disease. The Guidelines are based on relevant medical literature, Guidelines of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, the World Association for Infectious Diseases and Immunological Disorders, and the Program for immunization, seroprophylaxis and chemoprophylaxis for special population groups of the Croatian Institute of Public Health. Nephrologists, infectologists and epidemiologists were involved in their development. There are two types of pneumococcal vaccine available in Croatia that can be used for adults, conjugated vaccine PCV13 and polysaccharide vaccine PPSV23. The Guidelines include planning and implementation of vaccination in chronic kidney disease patients who replace kidney function with hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, renal transplant, or are candidates for treatment by transplantation, having one or more comorbidities: diabetes mellitus, chronic pulmonary disease, chronic cardiovascular disease, chronic advanced liver disease, chronic kidney disease with solid or hematological tumors, and splenectomy.
