Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis (Greek: ana- ‘against’ + phylaxis ‘guarding’) is a serious, potentially fatal allergic reaction and medical emergency that is rapid in onset and requires immediate medical attention regardless of the use of emergency medication on site.

See DPT vaccine and Anaphylaxis

Anti-tetanus immunoglobulin

Anti-tetanus immunoglobulin, also known as tetanus immune globulin (TIG) and tetanus antitoxin, is a medication made up of antibodies against the tetanus toxin.

See DPT vaccine and Anti-tetanus immunoglobulin

Antigen

In immunology, an antigen (Ag) is a molecule, moiety, foreign particulate matter, or an allergen, such as pollen, that can bind to a specific antibody or T-cell receptor.

Bacteria

Bacteria (bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell.

DTaP-IPV vaccine is a combination vaccine whose full generic name is diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis adsorbed and inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV). DPT vaccine and DTaP-IPV vaccine are combination vaccines, diphtheria, tetanus, vaccines and whooping cough.

See DPT vaccine and DTaP-IPV vaccine

DTaP-IPV-HepB vaccine

DTaP-IPV-HepB vaccine is a combination vaccine whose generic name is diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis adsorbed, hepatitis B (recombinant) and inactivated polio vaccine or DTaP-IPV-Hep B. It protects against the infectious diseases diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, and hepatitis B. DPT vaccine and DTaP-IPV-HepB vaccine are combination vaccines, diphtheria, tetanus, vaccines and whooping cough.

DTaP-IPV/Hib vaccine

DTaP-IPV/Hib vaccine is a 5-in-1 combination vaccine that protects against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, and ''Haemophilus influenzae'' type B. Its generic name is "diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis adsorbed, inactivated poliovirus and haemophilus B conjugate vaccine", and it is also known as DTaP-IPV-Hib. DPT vaccine and DTaP-IPV/Hib vaccine are combination vaccines, diphtheria, tetanus, vaccines and whooping cough.

See DPT vaccine and DTaP-IPV/Hib vaccine

DTwP-HepB-Hib vaccine

DTwP-HepB-Hib vaccine is a 5-in-1 combination vaccine with five individual vaccines conjugated into one. DPT vaccine and DTwP-HepB-Hib vaccine are combination vaccines, diphtheria, tetanus, vaccines and whooping cough.

See DPT vaccine and DTwP-HepB-Hib vaccine

Encephalopathy

Encephalopathy (from ἐνκέφαλος "brain" + πάθος "suffering") means any disorder or disease of the brain, especially chronic degenerative conditions.

Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is an infectious disease caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) that affects the liver; it is a type of viral hepatitis.

See DPT vaccine and Hepatitis B

Hexavalent vaccine

A hexavalent vaccine, or 6-in-1 vaccine, is a combination vaccine with six individual vaccines conjugated into one, intended to protect people from multiple diseases. DPT vaccine and hexavalent vaccine are combination vaccines, diphtheria, tetanus, vaccines and whooping cough.

See DPT vaccine and Hexavalent vaccine

Infection

An infection is the invasion of tissues by pathogens, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agent and the toxins they produce.
