Article Synopsis
- - The study examines pertussis-specific antibodies in healthy Egyptian children aged 1 to 18 to understand their immunization status and the relationship between antibody levels and avidity in fighting the disease.
- - Findings indicate that younger children (6-8 years) show increased avidity, reaching a plateau in older teens, while antibody titers are highest in toddlers and young school children due to vaccination effects.
- - The research highlights that while antibody levels decrease with age, avidity increases independently, suggesting the need for avidity measurements alongside traditional tests to assess immunity and potentially guide booster vaccination strategies in Egypt.
