Serodiagnosis of bacterial diseases is of value only in specific circumstances. IgG antibody is long-lived, and its presence, although indicative of previous infection or immunization, gives little or no information on current bacterial infection. IgM antibody is usually produced within days to a few weeks after exposure to antigen, (more…)

Serum sickness syndrome was first recognized in the pre antibiotic era when heterologous antiserum was used as passive immunization for treatment of a number of infectious and toxic illnesses. Today, specific serum therapy with heterologous (usually equine) serum or gamma globulin is restricted to passive immunization for a very few toxic diseases and the use of antilymphocyte (ALG) or antithymocyte (ATG) globulin for immunosuppressive therapy. This is not applicable to active immunization. (more…)

Immunization is needed for person to be prevented of getting diseases, whereas in bigger scale, it is needed to eradicate the break out of diseases in population area. Immunization has accounted for prominent advances in health around the world. Immunizations in children are part of routine health care and it is necessary to do so. Major governments in the world have financed the implementation of vaccines available publicly. Many states in US have laws requiring validation of immunization as a precondition for school entry. Because of this progress, many viruses disease like poliomyelitis, diphtheria, and tetanus have all but disappeared in some developed nations. Some diseases like measles, rubella, and pertussis are still available but rare. World Health Organization has made poliomyelitis disease as the next target for eradication. (more…)
