BACKGROUND The pentavalent rotavirus vaccine (PRV), RotaTeq, can be concomitantly administered with most routine childhood vaccines. This study evaluated the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of PRV when used concomitantly with a hexavalent vaccine containing diphtheria, tetanus, acellular

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Biken acellular pertussis vaccine in combination with diphtheria and tetanus toxoid (Biken DTaP) vaccine administered to children 4 to 6 years of age who had previously received four doses of Biken DTaP. METHODS 580 children were enrolled to

Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe acute gastroenteritis in infants and young children. Most children are infected with rotavirus, and the health and economic burdens of rotavirus gastroenteritis on healthcare systems and families are considerable. In 2012 pentavalent rotavirus vaccine (RV5)

BACKGROUND Pertussis is among the most poorly controlled bacterial vaccine-preventable diseases in the United States. In 2006, a tetanus, reduced-dose diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) booster was recommended for adolescents and adults. Tdap vaccines were licensed on the basis of antibody

BACKGROUND Ovarian cancer ascitic fluid, which contains malignant cells, is usually present in women with an advanced stage disease. There are currently no effective therapies for the treatment of ovarian cancer ascitic fluid. We developed a new therapeutic strategy to target expression of the

BACKGROUND This single blind study was conducted to address safety concerns regarding coadministration of diphtheria/ tetanus (DT,Td) boosters and meningococcal C conjugate (MCC) vaccines containing diphtheria or tetanus conjugate proteins. METHODS 1754 subjects (835 preschoolers and 919 school

We investigated the rates of local and systemic reactions following 9920 diphtheria-tetanus toxoids-pertussis immunizations from 25 lots of commercially available, United States-licensed diphtheria-tetanus toxoids-pertussis adsorbed vaccines from four manufacturers as a function of vaccine lot,

Both the systemic and local reactions caused by the immunization with the vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough were studied. Side-effects, 48 hours after the vaccination were determined in 730 children between the ages of two months and five years and 11 months. Over 13% of the

BACKGROUND The present randomized non-blind trial was conducted to clarify the effect of analgesics on febrile responses of booster diphtheria-tetanus-whole cell pertussis (DTP) vaccine in 15-20 months old infants. METHODS A total of 270 healthy infants were randomized to receive acetaminophen (10

OBJECTIVE This pilot phase II, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 1 month duration, with a 2-3-month open-label extension, evaluated the safety, tolerability, biologic effects, and efficacy of interleukin-2 diphtheria fusion protein (DAB486IL-2) in refractory rheumatoid arthritis

BACKGROUND Diphtheria toxin (DT) has shown anticancer activity in both experimental models and humans but its adverse effects stopped further developments. Cross-reacting Material 197 (CRM197) is the product of a single missense mutation (Gly52 to Glu) within fragment A of DT. It has been shown to

BACKGROUND Hypodermic needles of different sizes (gauges and lengths) can be used for vaccination procedures. The gauge (G) refers to the outside diameter of the needle tubing. The higher the gauge number, the smaller diameter of the needle (eg a 25 G needle is 0.5 mm in diameter and is narrower

OBJECTIVE Safety monitoring of vaccines used in expanded programmes on immunisation is important in all countries, including those with limited resources. As the rates of target diseases decrease, parents become less accepting of even minor common adverse events. Identification, detection,

A total of 120 healthy Lithuanian infants were enrolled in a double-blind, randomized trial to receive one of two lots of SmithKline Beecham Biologicals' combined diphtheria, tetanus, whole cell Bordatella pertussis hepatitis B (DTPw-HB) candidate vaccine administered according to a 0, 1.5, 3-month,

Pertussis (i.e., whooping cough) is associated typically with an inspiratory "whoop," prolonged paroxysmal cough, and posttussive vomiting; however, persons infected with Bordetella pertussis sometimes experience atypical symptoms, making prompt recognition difficult and probably increasing
