Incidence rate of the harder adverse immunization reactions in the Program of the vaccination children in Federation Bosnia and Herzegovina is similar in the terms of kind and frequency as in the countries with high quality programme of the vaccination. In the period from 2002-2003 year cases of the adverse reactions were not registered, as vaccinal form of polyomyelitis, toxic syndrome or sudden acute deaths. The adverse events following immunization were classified in relation to 100,000 applicated vaccines, the incidence rate of supurative lymphadenitis at BCG vaccination reported are 32@100000, anaphylaxia at MMR vaccination 0...

We describe 2 cases of arthritis following immunization against diphtheria, poliomyelitis and tetanus toxoid. One patient developed monoarthritis of the knee after immunization, that regressed following synovectomy. Five years later, the arthritis recurred after a booster vaccine injection. One day after immunization, another patient developed arthritis of the ankle that persisted for 3 days. It is difficult to know whether there is a coincidental or a causal relation between immunization and arthritis. Although our cases suggest that immunization against diphtheria, poliomyelitis and tetanus toxoid may cause arthritis, additional cases must be reported before studies aimed at confirming this possibility are considered...

Vaccinations are considered to be one of the most protitable Public Health activities, given that almost three million deaths and four hundred thousand cases of polyomyelitis paralysis are avoided throughout the world every year. Nevertheless, in under-developed countries, especially Africa, two million children die every year from diseases that can be prevented by vaccination. This article studies the re-emergence in recent years of diphtheria in Eastern European countries (Ukrania, Russia, Belorussia, Poland, ...

Although each vaccine has limitations, both OPV and E-IPV have made a considerable contribution to the effective control of polyomyelitis. In view of the complementary advantages of the two vaccines, more use of their association in a common schedule is quite justified. An association of OPV and E-IPV, in which the latter is combined with DTP, seems particularly advantageous immunologically, logistically, and economically. There are several alternative ways in which the two vaccines could be associated sequentially or simultaneously...

The authors discuss some results of their study concerning the therapeutical effectiveness of different drugs and methods in treating herpes. A total of 194 patients were observed. In 73 cases desoxyribonuclease, interferon, inductors of interferon were used (viruses of ECHO of type 1 and 12, polyomyelitis vaccine, yeast ribonucleinic acid were used as inductors). Antiviral therapy permitted to prevent the development of postherpetic neuralgia, decrease the duration of hospitalization and in cases of remittent development either arrest or significantly reduce the number of relapses and clinical signs...

Declining numbers of adequately vaccinated persons, new data about the comparative safety and effectiveness of live, attenuated and killed poliomyelitis-virus vaccines, increased consumer awareness of adverse reactions and pressure from manufacturers seeking protection from liability were factors leading the Institute of Medicine to re-examine poliomyelitis vaccination programs. The relative merits of live and killed virus vaccines as immunizing agents were reviewed within the context of the 60 to 70 per cent level of poliomyelitis vaccination now reached in the United States...
