Özet
Infant death is caused mostly by infectious diseases which can be prevented with an effective immunization programme. C.diphtheriae may cause epidemic outbreak in the population. This infectious agent cause fatal disease in the case of unprotective antibody level. Immunization is life saving in these disease outbreaks. In this study we aimed to investigate the effectiveness and protectiveness of diphteria vaccination. For this purpose 184 healthy subjects aged from 1 to 40 years in Konya region were included in the study. Serum samples were collected between August 2003 and October 2004. Serological assays for C.diphtheriae were performed with a standardized ELISA method; results were expressed in IU/ml. In both pediatric and adult age groups, serum antibody levels were seroprotective for C.diphtheriae. These kinds of studies are important to know diptheria seroprevalance in different regions.
