Following an increase in diphtheria cases in Europe since 2022, we retrospectively estimated the prevalence of seroprotection against diphtheria and tetanus in 10,247 Austrian residents (population: 8,978,929) voluntarily tested between 2018 and 2022. Lack of seroprotection against diphtheria was found in 36% compared with 4% against tetanus. The geometric mean antibody concentration against tetanus was 7.9-fold higher compared with that for diphtheria. Raising awareness of regular booster vaccinations against diphtheria in combination with tetanus and pertussis is urgently needed.
自 2022 年以来,欧洲白喉病例有所增加,我们对 2018 年至 2022 年间自愿检测的 10247 名奥地利居民(人口:8978929 人)对白喉和破伤风的血清保护率进行了回顾性估计。与破伤风相比,发现对白喉无血清保护的比例为 36%,而破伤风为 4%。破伤风的几何平均抗体浓度比白喉高 7.9 倍。迫切需要提高对白喉、破伤风和百日咳定期加强免疫接种的认识。
