The article presents the results of a clinical experimental study on the timing of recovery of the immune response to the introduction of conjugated pneumococcal vaccine in patients with a hematological profile with multiple myeloma after performing autologous hematopoietic stem cells transplantation. In the context of significant advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma, infectious complications are one of the main causes of early mortality, with 1 in 10 patients dying from infections within 10 weeks from the time of diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical efficacy and optimal timing of the start of vaccination in patients with multiple myeloma after autologous hematopoietic stem cells transplantation.
