[Antidiphtheria immunity in children after immunization with adsorbed DPT vaccine and ADPT-M toxoid].

Antidiphtheria immunity in children aged 3-15 years was evaluated, depending on their age, the vaccinal preparation chosen for immunization and the immunization schedule. Adsorbed DPT vaccine was shown to have a higher immunological activity in comparison with adsorbed DT toxoid with reduced antigen content. The relationship between the tension of antidiphtheria antitoxic immunity in children and the possibility of the formation of the clinical forms of diphtheria with different severity in the patients was established.

[Immune response in adult immunized with adsorbed DT-M anatoxin with reduced antigen content and Imovax-DT-adulte vaccine].

The comparative study of immune response after immunization of adults with adsorbed DT toxoid with reduced antigen content and Imovax-DT-adulte vaccine, as well as the safety of these preparations, was made. The study revealed that immunization of adults with adsorbed DT toxoid having reduced antigen content, made in two injections, and the injection of Imovax-DT-dulte vaccine, as well as the successive injection of these preparations, produced the same the levels of antitetanus immunity. Antidiphtheria immunity, evaluated by the number of seroconverted to diphtheria persons following two injections immunization was similar for the two preparations, while the level of antidiphtheria antibodies was higher in persons immunized with adsorbed DT toxoid.
