Yellow Fever Vaccination in an Individual with Confirmed Egg Protein Allergy: A Case Report.
Article in Vaccines, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundYellow fever vaccination is recommended for travelers visiting endemic regions in South America and Africa. The live-attenuated vaccine (Stamaril CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 35-year-old male disaster relief worker with confirmed egg protein allergy and moderate sensitization but no history of anaphylaxis. Under normal circumstances, a statement confirming that vaccination is not possible would be sufficient for entry. However, due to his work-related duties and the relevant guidelines from his employer, there was an urgent need for vaccination despite his egg protein allergy. A comprehensive allergy work-up including skin prick testing, serum-specific IgE, and oral provocation testing revealed a moderate allergy without systemic reactions.
interventionFollowing informed consent and risk assessment, a fractional dose (0.1 mL) of the reconstituted yellow fever vaccine was administered under close monitoring. The patient developed a localized dermal reaction without systemic symptoms. Post-vaccination neutralization testing confirmed seroconversion indicating protective immunity. DISCUSSION: Although yellow fever vaccination is considered contraindicated in individuals with severe egg protein allergy, the literature supports its cautious use in selected cases. Fractional dosing has emerged as an effective dose-sparing strategy. Studies show that even in egg protein-allergic individuals, adverse events are rare.
conclusionsIn this case, a fractional yellow fever vaccination was safe and an effective option for an egg-allergic individual in a high-risk occupational setting, supporting a personalized approach based on clinical risk assessment and current evidence.
