    Tetanus antitoxin Seroprevalence in patients with Behget's disease
    (Informa Healthcare, 2003) Ayaslioglu, E; Erkek, E; Kilic, D; Kaygusuz, S; Karaca, F; Duzgun, N
    Anti-tetanus antibody status was evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 82 patients with Behcet's disease and 79 healthy individuals. 76 patients with Behcet's disease (92.7%) and 74 healthy controls (93.7%) had protective antibody titres against tetanus, with geometric mean levels of 1.0194+/-1.2755 and 1.3899+/-1.6533 IU/ml, respectively. The difference between the 2 groups was not statistically significant. There was a significant inverse correlation between antitoxin titres and age in patient and control groups. These findings imply that patients with Behcet's disease have intact overall immunity against tetanus.
