[Immune response of preterm infants to hepatitis B vaccine administered within 24 hours after birth].
OBJECTIVE To investigate the immune response of preterm infants to hepatitis B vaccination. METHODS Three doses of recombinant hepatitis B vaccine (5 micro g dose) were administered to 35 preterm and 21 full-term infants within 24 hours after birth and at one and six months of postnatal age. RESULTS A protective antibody response (anti-HB > 10 mUI/mL) was observed three months after the las...

متن کاملeffect of tetanus‑diphtheria vaccine on immune response to hepatitis b vaccine in low‑responder individuals
background: conventional hepatitis b virus (hbv) vaccination fails to achieve efficient protection in about 5–10% of the world population. hence, different strategies have been adopted to ameliorate hbv antibody titers. this study aimed to evaluate the concurrent application of tetanus‑diphtheria (td) and hbv vaccination on hepatitis b surface (hbs) antibody titer in low‑responder healthy indiv...
