Haemophilus capsular polysaccharide-tetanus toxoid conjugate (PRP-T) and diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccines were administered in a single syringe (group 1) or separate syringes (group 2) to 284 infants at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. Group 1 infants had a slightly greater incidence of local reactions. Systemic reactions were similar. The geometric mean titers of polyribosylribitol phosphate (PRP) serum antibody concentrations after the third dose of PRP-T vaccine were 4.8 and 4.3 micrograms/ml for groups 1 and 2, respectively. Antibody responses to DTP antigens were also similar. The immunogenicity and safety of the PRP-T and DTP vaccines are equivalent when the vaccines are administered in separate syringes or the same syringe to infants.

D013742 Tetanus A disease caused by tetanospasmin, a powerful protein toxin produced by CLOSTRIDIUM TETANI. Tetanus usually occurs after an acute injury, such as a puncture wound or laceration. Generalized tetanus, the most common form, is characterized by tetanic muscular contractions and hyperreflexia. Localized tetanus presents itself as a mild condition with manifestations restricted to muscles near the wound. It may progress to the generalized form.
