[Serological surveillance of diphtheria].
The serological method (indirect hemagglutination test) has been used in the surveillance of diphtheria infection. The structure of immunity to diphtheria in the population of the region has been studied. The possibility of increasing intervals between booster immunizations has been confirmed. The introduction of planned booster immunizations of the adult population with diphtheria toxoid is proposed.
