Diphtheria

Vedclass · Answer

(A) Antitoxins and toxoids are biological preparations used to provide immunity against specific bacterial toxins. $Diphtheria$ is a serious bacterial infection caused by $Corynebacterium$ $diphtheriae$,which produces a potent exotoxin. To prevent this disease,the $Diphtheria$ toxoid (inactivated toxin) is administered as part of the $DPT$ vaccine to stimulate active immunity,or antitoxin serum is given for passive immunity in infected individuals. Smallpox and chickenpox are viral diseases,and chronic headache is a symptom,not a disease preventable by toxoids.
