Increased Risk Of Inflammatory Bowel Disease From Measles Vaccine Not Substantiated.(Brief Article)
2001 APR 11 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) --
by N.R. Saltmarsh, staff medical writer - Measles-containing vaccines apparently do not increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and related conditions, say researchers for the Vaccine Safety Datalink project of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Despite earlier studies suggesting such a link, Robert L. Davis and colleagues were unable to substantiate an increased risk of IBD, Crohn's disease, or ulcerative colitis. Their results were published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine.
Davis and team searched for risks from either receipt or timing of measles-containing vaccines (MCV) among patients from four large health maintenance organizations from the Vaccine Safety Datalink project. They compared vaccine histories for people with or without IBD in this case-control study. A total of 155 patients with IBD or related diseases were matched by age, sex, and health maintenance organization to up to five controls.
Vaccination with measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine was not associated with an increased risk of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or IBD, the researchers found. Children who received the MMR vaccine younger than 18 months of age had no increased risk of IBD compared to unvaccinated children, while those vaccinated older ...
