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.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle35529930110.1080/003655403100084102-s2.0-003777889612875513N/AWOS:000184133100001Q4
