Immunization against tetanus.

Immunization against Tetanus.

IN A RECENT preliminary communication (Smith, Evans, Jones, Gear, Cunliffe and Barr, 1963) the results of a clinical trial of adsorbed tetanus toxoid were presented. This demonstrated the efficacy and safety of simultaneous injections of adsorbed toxoid and tetanus antitoxin. Casualty officers and general practitioners are frequently faced with the problem of immunization against tetanus and ar...

Oral Immunization against Diphtheria and Tetanus Infections by Fluid Dphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids

Tetanus Immunization *

Tetanus immunity produced in man by injections of tetanus toxoid is receiving an increasing amount of attention. That man responds to two or three injections of such toxoid-preferably alum-precipitated-with the production of antitoxin has been established firmly by a number of investigators during the past few years. Of the more recent work, that by Bergey and Etris,2 Bergey,' Jones and Moss,6 ...

Immunization with Tetanus Toxoid

Although immunization with tetanus toxoid cannot be expected to produce an adequate permanent immunity, a number of investigators have confirmed and extended the observation of Ramon3 to the effect that an organism, once immunized, will respond to further injections of toxoid with an accelerated and increased antitoxin production. That this response to the "injection de rappel" does occur has b...
