Purpose - to study the state of protection against vaccine-controlled infections in children with primary immunodeficiency (PID) and on immunosuppressive therapy. Materials methods. The object was level intensity humoral immunity viral (measles, rubella) bacterial (diphtheria, tetanus) immunosuppressed patients.

Combined measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination is soon to become available in Britain in the routine immunisation programme. A controlled study was performed in 319 children, aged 13 months, to assess the antibody response and clinical reactions to a new combined measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine in comparison with a single component measles vaccine. In the children who received the combine...

Viral antibody-titres were measured in 28 patients with Bell's palsy seen in Baghdad. These cases were selected to include only those seen within 24 hours from onset. No association with recent viral infection other than rubella virus was demonstrated. Four cases showed immunological evidence of simultaneous rubella virus infection but without other clinical evidence of the disease.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Measles and Rubella Control Campaign was conducted in Iran in December 2003 targeting both males and females 5 to 25 yr old using measles-rubella vaccine. During the campaign, some pregnant women received vaccine during the first trimester of pregnancy or some others became pregnant shortly thereafter. The goal of this study was to evaluate the risk of congenital rubella ...

Primary cultures of rabbit (New Zealand white) embryo cells support growth of rubella virus. Distinct cytopathic changes are discernible within 6 to 8 days after inoculation. This cell system has been successful for the recovery of rubella virus from clinical materials and the demonstration of neutralizing antibody in patient serum.

BACKGROUND In Iran, the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR) is administered in a two-dose protocol where the first dose is scheduled at 12 months of age. This study aims to determine the efficacy of the MMR vaccine by testing IgM and IgG antibody levels 4 - 7 weeks after primary vaccination. METHODS A single group cohort study was performed on healthy children, 12 - 15 months of age, who...
