Implementation of hepatitis B vaccine in high-risk young adults with waning immunity.

Universal hepatitis B (HB) vaccination among Thai newborns was initiated in 1992. The first dose of the monovalent HB vaccine was given at birth, then at months 2 and 6 simultaneously with the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis whole-cell (DTPw) vaccine. In 2008, Thailand replaced the monovalent HB vaccine at months 2 and 6 with a combined DTP-HB given at months 2, 4, and 6, with an added monovalent HB vaccine at month 1 for infants whose mothers were HBV carriers.

Phenytoin toxicity in two-month-old Thai infant with CYP2C9 gene polymorphism--A case report.

Phenytoin is one of the most well established and most effective antiepileptic medications for the treatment of focal seizures. In our clinical practice, it has proven difficult to maintain therapeutic phenytoin levels in infants less than three months of age. Incidence of phenytoin toxicity in infants is very rare.
