title: [Results of a controlled epidemiological trial of the application of placental gamma globulin in foci of meningococcal infection].
abstract: Controlled epidemiological trial was applied to the study of the use of placental gamma-globulin for prophylaxis of generalized forms of meningococcus infection in the foci (creches and kindergartens). A group of the vaccinated children (16 140) and control group (16 080) were the same age and sex. Gamma-globulin was administered in a dose of 3 ml to every other child attending creches and kindergartens not later than the 10th day after the patient's isolation. It was shown that the efficacy coefficient of gamma-globulin in the foci of meningococcus infection constituted 68% (the efficacy index was 3.2) for one month after the administration.
