title: [Specific antibodies in children with recurrent respiratory infections immunized with pneumo 23 and Act-HIB vaccines].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Assessment of specific IgG levels in children with recurrent respiratory infections after immunization with Pneumo 23 and Act-HIB vaccines.
  
  
  METHODS
  Concentrations of IgG to polysaccharide capsular antigens and cell wall antigens of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae were measured by solid-phase ELISA in sera of 256 immunized children.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Increase of levels of IgG to cell wall antigens and certain polysaccharide antigens was observed in patients with low or intermediate antibody levels at baseline.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Obtained results allow to conclude that vaccination of children with recurrent respiratory and middle ear infections results in induction of IgG production that proves immunological effect of performed vaccination.
