Reference Range
Tetanus & Diptheria:
> or = 0.10 IU/mL
Diphtheria Antitoxoid:
Antibody levels > or = to 0.10 IU/mL are considered
protective. After a primary series of three properly
spaced diphtheria toxoid doses in adults or four doses
in infants, a protective level of antitoxin (defined as
> 0.10 IU of antitoxin/mL) is reached in more than 95%.
Tetanus Antitoxoid:
Antibody levels > or = to 0.10 IU/mL are considered
protective. However, tetanus can still occur in some
individuals with such antibody levels. These results
should not be used to determine the necessity to
administer antitoxin when clinically indicated.
