Immunosenescence and Vaccine Response in Elderly Rheumatic Patients: Immunological Profiling and Clinical Outcomes

Immunosenescence and Vaccine Response in Elderly Rheumatic Patients: Immunological Profiling and Clinical Outcomes Elderly patients with rheumatic diseases face unique health challenges. Their immune systems weaken with age through immunosenescence. This process reduces vaccine effectiveness. Researchers now examine how rheumatic conditions affect this decline. The study focuses on immunological profiling and real clinical outcomes. Introduction […]
