On the immunization of children against diphtheria through the nose. Lesné, Marquezy, Lemaire and Monmignot (Bul. de la Soc. de Ped. de Paris, 1927, nos. 3-5)

Abstract

For the purpose of preventive vaccination against diphtheria, the authors in 130 cases administered Ramon's anatoxin through the nose by 3-4 drops in each nostril, in some patients 8 days in succession with 8-day intervals, and in others 3-4 days later until the Chick reaction had completely disappeared, and relatively identical figures were obtained as a result of either method of treatment: 3 weeks after the start of vaccination, only 50% of Chick'a reactions were negative, 40 days after the start-83%, the same 50 days later-95%.
