| Two strategies have evolved to reduce the disease burden in
patients with bacterial meningitis: (1) active immunization against the
most common pathogens and (2) reduction of central nervous system
inflammation with anti-inflammatory therapy. In fact,
deliberate disruption of the GnRH system is the basis for using GnRH
analogs in active immunization paradigms for contraceptive purposes
(22).
Individuals with impaired immune responsiveness, whether due to
the use of immunosuppressive therapy, a genetic defect, Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, or other causes, may have
reduced antibody response to active immunization (see PRECAUTIONS,
Drug Interactions). |
