ACTIVE 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...

Active Immunization against Poliomyelitis

1. A single intracutaneous inoculation with a subinfective dose of the virus of poliomyelitis produces considerable immunity. 2. Virus-serum combinations produce an appreciable immunity, providing just sufficient serum is used to protect the animal from paralysis. If there is an excess of serum, the degree of immunity is considerably reduced.

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 ...
