Possible link between Hepatitis B and Auto-immune diseases

[Guest guest]

Dear a and/or : I think I remember reading about a possible link between

Hip B and RA. Is there such a thing anywhere on the web? Thanks in advance.

Louise, I have seen a lot written in the last couple of years about the

hepatitis B vaccine (not the actual infection) possibly being associated

with an increased risk for the development of autoimmune diseases. In

the case of RA, one theory is that people who are genetically

predisposed to RA are more likely to develop the disease relatively soon

after having been vaccinated for hepatitis B. Some believe any

vaccination, not the hepatitis B vaccine alone, increases the risk.
