Preventative Care in the Patient with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: What Is New?

Jason S Reich et al. Dig Dis Sci. 2016 Aug.

Abstract

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) do not receive routine preventative care at the same rate as general medical patients. This patient population is at increased risk of vaccine preventable illness such as influenza and pneumococcal pneumonia. This review will discuss health maintenance needs and preventative care issues in patients with IBD.

Keywords: Health maintenance; IBD patient; Immunization; Immunosuppressed; Vaccination.
