Partially restricted antitoxins of tetanus and diphtheria in man.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Current advances in neonatology have improved survival among preterm and low-birth-weight infants. However, the risk of neonatal death in preterm infants is much greater than in full-term neonates and is frequently associated with infections. METHODS:Little is known about the immune status of preterm neon...
