Active versus Passive Immunity

Active versus Passive Immunity

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.

Introduction to Lymphatic and Immune System

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...

Functions of the Lymphatic and Immune System

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...

Purpose of the Study:

To review resources for team physicians regarding athlete immunizations.
To emphasize the importance of staying current on disease and vaccination information.

Main Methods:

A literature search of PubMed was conducted (August 2016 - May 2017).
Websites of major health organizations (CDC, WHO, IAC) were reviewed.
Clinical review and Level 4 evidence were utilized.

Main Results:

Team physicians must monitor diseases endemic to athlete travel destinations.
Assessing athlete vaccination status is crucial for disease prevention advice.
Proactive management ensures athlete health and safety during international travel.

Conclusions:

Numerous regularly updated, reliable websites are available to support team physicians.
These resources aid in making informed immunization recommendations for athletes.
