Delayed results of vaccination of children with recurrent respiratory infections against measles and mumps
2010
AIM: Assessment of results of immunization against measles and mumps in children with recurrent respiratory infections. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Levels of IgG against measles and mumps viruses were measured using enzyme immunoassay. Two hundred and twelve serum samples obtained from 6 groups of children with 20 - 45 persons (boys and girls) in each were tested. Children of various ages were presented in each group. Also, immunologic parameters were measured in all children. RESULTS: It was established that mean antibody titers to measles and mumps viruses did not change during 10 years. In more than 50% of children correlation between high and low titers of antibodies of different specificity was found. CONCLUSION: Recurrent respiratory illnesses determine complex regulation of transition of memory cells into cells secreting antibodies to measles and mumps viruses.
