• Patient is immunosuppressed, has an autoimmune disorder, or an immunosuppressive disorder (i.e. chronic condition characterized by markedly inhibited ability to respond to antigenic stimuli.) Examples of such conditions include patients who are on immunosuppressive therapy (corticosteroid hormones in large amounts, cytotoxic drugs, antilymphocytic serum or irradiation in large doses) or patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
• Patient has inflammatory arthritis (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis)
