Abstract

During a remission and drug therapy, 71 children suffering from allergic diseases were vaccinated with DT-M toxoid containing different dose of diphtheria (1, 2.5, 5 LF) and tetanus (1, 2.5, 5 EC) antigens. It has been shown that all the children responded to tetanus antigen by adequate serological tests, whereas as regards diphtheria toxoid, the patients immunized with the least dose of DT-M preparation (1 LF + + 1 EC antigens) produced specific antibodies later and at a lower level. During the postvaccinal period, they also manifested an increase of the content of IgE and exacerbation of the underlying disease in 17.8% of cases. The use of DT-M toxoid with 2.5 LF + EC antigens was shown to hold promise in vaccination of children suffering from allergic diseases.
