Studies on Tetanus Toxoid: III. Antitoxic Response in Guinea Pigs Immunized with Tetanus Alum-precipitated Toxoid Followed by Tetanus Spores.
When an individual has been given one or more injections of tetanus toxoid and, at a later date, is injured and possibly infected with Clostridium tetani, what further precautions should be taken: (1) Administer antitoxin?

That this response to the "injection de rappel" does occur has b...
متن کاملTetanus toxoid immunization to reduce mortality from neonatal tetanus
BACKGROUND Neonatal tetanus remains an important and preventable cause of neonatal mortality globally. Large reductions in neonatal tetanus deaths have been reported following major increases in the coverage of tetanus toxoid immunization, yet the level of evidence for the mortality effect of tetanus toxoid immunization is surprisingly weak with only two trials considered in a Cochrane review. ...
متن کاملImmunization 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...
