Brief Summary

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at increased risk of infections. This increased susceptibility to infections is due to the disease itself, but also be-cause many patients with autoimmune conditions are treated with immuno-suppressive drugs, such as azathioprine and or TNF-a inhibitors. Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a cause of worldwide morbidity and mortality and one of the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in adults. Infection with pneumococcus can be prevented with vaccination. Two pneumococcal vaccine are used in Denmark, the 23 valent polysaccharide-based vaccine (23PPV) and the 13 valent of conjugate pneumococcal vaccines (PCV13). In this study the investigators wish to study the effect of pneumococcal vaccination with either PPV23 or PCV13 in IBD patients treated with either TNF-a inhibitors, azathioprine or untreated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in antibody titers

    The primary outcome is to detect a difference in antibody change between the two vaccines as a consequence of the vaccination

    Day 0, 4 weeks post vaccination, 1 year post vaccination

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in antibody titers as a function of Crohns disease treatment

    Day 0, 4 weeks post vaccination, 1 year post vaccination
