^aLocal laboratory reference values were applied, measured as described previously in (14)
^bLocal laboratory reference values were applied, measured by flow cytometry as described previously in (14)
^cData were obtained from hospital records, measurement performed by various methods
^dSAD was defined as inadequate antibody response to Pneumovax®: a fourfold rise in antibody titers and post-immunization antibody levels ≥0.35 μg/ml to < 70% of serotypes, measured as described previously in (14)
