Intradermal versus subcutaneous immunization with typhoid vaccine

Abstract: SUMMARYSwedish nationals about to travel abroad were immunized against typhoid with a monovalent heat-inactivated vaccine which was administered intra-or subcutaneously. No major differences in serum antibody response were noted in the two groups of vaccinees as determined with direct agglutination and indirect hemagglutination techniques. As the intracutaneous route caused fewer adverse reactions this way of administration seems to be preferable.

“…The direct tube agglutination method (Widal) has primarily been used for determination of serum antibodies in cases of suspected typhoid fever (10,13). Serum antibodies to Salmonella can also be determined with the indirect hemagglutination method (7,11). The agglutination techniques only allow for determination of agglutinable antibodies and cannot discriminate between specific immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgA, and IgM antibodies.…”

“…This failure to provide adequate protection is observed despite the development of high titers of circulating antibodies and may be mostly due to an inadequate stimulation of local immunity (53). In addition, parenteral administration of large numbers of killed organisms frequently results in adverse reactions such as local discomfort, redness, swelling, fever, headache, myalgia, and general malaise (1,21,73,145). More severe systemic manifestations such as anaphylactic shock, acute renal disease, appendicitis, and erythema nodosum, although rare, have also been observed (13,75,80,101).…”
