We want just one more new remedy, and that's an antitoxin for this polyphobia. |
|
Unlike antivenin produced in horses or sheep, antitoxin produced in poultry does not involve as much discomfort for the animals. |
|
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and some state health departments keep a supply of antitoxin against botulinum toxin. |
|
Serum antitoxin levels of at least 0.01 antitoxin units per mL are generally regarded as protective. |
|
Administration of antitoxin prior to withdrawal of blood will result in a negative assay. |
|
Administration of trivalent licensed antitoxin or heptavalent botulinum may prevent or decrease a patient's progression to respiratory failure and hasten recovery. |
|
If the toxin is a venom, the antitoxin formed, or the antiserum containing it, is called an antivenin. |
|
Treatment relies mainly on the administration of diphtheria antitoxin by the intramuscular or intravenous route. |
|
Ask your veterinarian for advice on the need to give tetanus antitoxin at birth and antibiotics. |
|
It also maintains a supply of antitoxin, and analyzes bacterial spores and toxins found in clinical and food samples from across the country. |
|
A toxin that has been treated to destroy its toxic property, but retains its capability to stimulate the production of antitoxin antibodies. |
|
However, the success of the antitoxin treatment is strongly dependent on the time of administration. |
|
The antitoxin, if available, is administered only on the order of a physician. |
|
Presence of botulinum neurotoxin is only confirmed upon neutralization with specific antitoxin. |
|
We are equipped with antitoxin and a vaccine to prevent the disease, yet tetanus continues to be a major public health problem throughout much of the developing world. |
|
Furthermore, equine-derived antitoxin carries with it the risk of side effects, the most worrisome of which include serum sickness and anaphylactic reaction. |
|
For example, antitoxins, like tetanus antitoxin, are made by injecting horses with a small amount of the toxin so that the animal produces the antibodies. |
|
The whole process is less than convenient or cost-effective for normal antitoxin therapies. |
|
Encouraged by earlier success in developing an antitoxin malaria vaccine candidate, the ETH Zurich team is also pursuing a potential anthrax vaccine candidate using this same synthetic carbohydrate as the basis. |
|
Misinterpretation of the results of such tests can lead the physician to withhold needed human antitoxin from a patient who is not actually allergic to this material. |
|
|
The first antitoxin, to diphtheria, was discovered in 1890 by Emil von Behring and Shibasaburo Kitasato, for which Behring received the 1901 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. |
|
Thus, universal primary immunization and timed booster doses to maintain adequate tetanus antitoxin levels are necessary to protect all age groups. |
|
Human Immunoglobulin Anti-Tetanus shall contain not less than 50 IU per ml of tetanus antitoxin as determined by a neutralisation test in animals. |
|
The scourges of tetanus and gas gangrene were controlled to a large extent by antitoxin and antiserum injections, yet surgical treatment of the wound remained an essential requirement. |
|
Tetanus toxoid is a highly effective antigen and a completed primary series generally induces serum antitoxin levels of at least 0.01 antitoxin units per mL, a level which has been reported to be protective. |
|
Botulism can be treated with an antitoxin which blocks the action of toxin circulating in the blood. |
|
Thus universal primary vaccination, with subsequent maintenance of adequate antitoxin levels by means of appropriately timed boosters, is necessary to protect persons among all age groups. |
|
The disease needs immediate treatment in hospital with antitoxin injections, antibiotics and sedatives to relieve muscle spasm. |
|
The use of antitoxin is adjunctive to this procedure. |
|
Finally, after several months of using over-the-counter activated charcoal, a seemingly miraculous antitoxin brought home by her husband, Beth's symptoms began to disappear. |
