Diphtheria Antitoxin

01/01/2014 - "The most effective treatment for diphtheria is swift administration of diphtheria antitoxin (DAT) with conjunct antibiotic therapy. "
05/01/2013 - "The studied sample showed 100% prevalence of diphtheria antitoxin, confirming prior vaccination; however 49.2% exhibited only minimal protection against diphtheria. "
11/19/1999 - "The diphtheria antitoxin cut-off levels in the sDelfia and the dDelfia were 0.004 and 0.002 AU/ml, respectively, which is lower than the internationally accepted level showing any protection against diphtheria (0.01 IU/ml). "
01/01/1957 - "It eliminates the need for preliminary titrations, is economical, provides information about the slope of the log-dose response lines and, therefore, of the validity of the assay, and yields limits of error of potency from the internal evidence of the assay.A study has been made of the effects of avidity, combining power, toxicity and buffering on the assay of diphtheria toxins against the International Standards for both Diphtheria Antitoxin and Schick-Test Toxin.All"
01/01/2015 - "Furthermore, an access to diphtheria antitoxin, which is essential in diphtheria treatment, is now hardly accessible in Europe. "

08/27/2009 - "In this study serum samples of 990 subjects from 30 years of age, participating in a population survey in 2000-2001, were used to assess the tetanus and diphtheria antitoxin concentrations. "
08/27/2009 - "High tetanus and diphtheria antitoxin concentrations in Finnish adults--time for new booster recommendations?"
07/01/2009 - "Tetanus and diphtheria antitoxin levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. "
01/01/2007 - "Twelve hours later, these samples were transferred to a plate previously coated with tetanus or diphtheria antitoxin to bind the remaining anatoxin. "
01/01/2007 - "For the Modi-TOBI test, after blocking the microtiter plates, standard tetanus or diphtheria antitoxin and different concentrations of guinea pig sera were incubated with the respective anatoxin. "

05/01/1994 - "The combined vaccine induced tetanus and diphtheria antitoxin titers > or = 0.01 IU/ml in 99.5 and 99.1% of infants, pertussis agglutinin titers > or = 64 in 92.4%, anti-polyribosylribitol phosphate titers > or = 0.15 microgram/ml in 93.8% and > or = 1.0 microgram/ml in 75% and polio-neutralizing titers > or = 8 in > 98% of infants. "
03/31/1979 - "Reinforcing immunisation at school entry appeared to be necessary to maintain adequate titres of diphtheria antitoxin in children up to 15 years of age, not essential to maintain adequate titres of tetanus antitoxin, and to have little effect on the titres of antibodies to poliomyelitis."
07/01/1990 - "Serological studies of 470 travellers showed that 20% had incomplete immunity to poliomyelitis; 25% of those tested (312 travellers) had serological evidence of typhoid immunisation, I.9% (of 760 travellers) had antibodies to Legionella pneumophila, 64% (5II travellers tested) had antibodies to hepatitis A, 87% (288 tested) had adequate levels of tetanus antitoxin but only 40% of the 225 travellers tested had adequate levels of diphtheria antitoxin. "
