[State of immunity to diphtheria and tetanus in women in early postpartum period].
OBJECTIVE
Study of anti-diphtheria and anti-tetanus immunity in women in early postpartum period depending on age.


METHODS
Women in early postpartum period (n =139) with unknown vaccine anamnesis aged 17 to 44 years and under the supervision of Rostov-on-Don maternity hospital No. 2 were examined for the evaluation of the anti-diphtheria and anti-tetanus immunity state.


RESULTS
All the women had high level of protection form these infections. The level of anti-tetanus immunity intensity in the examined was higher than anti-diphtheria.


CONCLUSIONS
Monitoring of anti-diphtheria and anti-tetanus immunity in women of childbearing age is necessary to resolve the issue of vaccine administration in this group. High level of maternal immunity intensity will allow to form a sufficient protection from infectious agents in neonates.
