EXPERIENCE IN THE TREATMENT OF STAPHYLOCOCCAL DISEASES IN INFANTS BY USING STAPHYLOCOCCAL ANATOXIN

Abstract

The use of staphylococcal toxoid in conjunction with other medicines exerted a favorable influence on the course and outcome of staphylococcal diseases in babies. The administration of toxoid furthered a reduction in the period for recovery, a more rapid disappearance of pyemic foci and an earlier normalization of hematological indices. The use of staphylococcal toxoid led to an increase in the specific immunological reactivity of the child. This was indicated by an increase in the titers of staphylococcal antitoxin in the blood. Following the administration of native staphylococcal toxoid a noticeable local and general reaction was not observed.
