[Effect of immunization of pregnant women with staphylococcal toxoid on the immunologic status of the child].

A study was made of the effect of immunization of women during pregnancy of the immunological status of puerperants and their neonates, and also on the course of pregnancy in women and on development of a child aged under one year. Elevation of the IgG level in the blood serum, of the IgA -- in the milk of puerperants, and of the IgM -- in the blood serum of neonates, and also a marked increase in the antistaphylolysin titre in the mother and the neonate was revealed as a result of immunization. Clinical obervations showed such immunization to be harmless for the women, the neonate and the child the first year after birth. Immunization had a favourable effect on the state health of the children the first year after birth; this was expressed in a greater, in comparison with other children, resistance against infections diseases.
