Active versus Passive Immunity

11.0K
Immunity, along with the ability to limit pathogen growth to prevent significant body tissue damage, can be gained either by (1) actively developing an immune response within the individual after exposure to a pathogen or after getting vaccinated or (2) passively transferring immune components from an immune individual to one who is nonimmune. Both these forms of immunity can be found naturally and in medical practices.

Functions of the Lymphatic and Immune System

The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in bolstering our immune system. It consists of a network of lymphoid organs, lymph, and lymphatic vessels that provide structural and functional support in safeguarding the body against pathogens such as viruses and bacteria.
The primary lymphoid organs, including the bone marrow and the thymus, serve as the maturation sites for lymphocytes. Secondary lymphoid organs, like the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, activate these lymphocytes and serve as...

Introduction to Lymphatic and Immune System

Immunity is a crucial biological concept about our body's inherent capacity to prevent infections and diseases. A complex network of cells and tissues collectively known as the immune system facilitates this natural defense mechanism. The immune system plays an integral role in maintaining our health and well-being, shielding us from potential health threats.
The immune responses can be categorized into two types: innate and adaptive. Innate immunity comprises nonspecific defenses we are born...

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Preventive Medicine

Background:

  • Immunization during pregnancy is crucial for maternal and fetal health.
  • Evidence on the effectiveness and safety of vaccines in pregnant individuals requires regular review.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize current evidence on immunization in pregnancy.
  • To provide updated recommendations for vaccine use in pregnant and breastfeeding women.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search of Medline and Cochrane databases up to January 2017.
  • Evidence evaluation by the SOGC Infectious Diseases Committee.
  • Development of recommendations based on Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care guidelines.

Main Results:

  • Evaluated vaccine effectiveness, and maternal/fetal risks and benefits.
  • Identified optimal immunization strategies for pregnant and breastfeeding populations.
  • Addressed the risk of contraindicated immunizations.

Conclusions:

  • Implementation of recommendations enhances appropriate immunization practices.
  • Improved disease prevention for mothers and infants is expected.
  • Guidelines aim to reduce the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases in pregnancy.
