Abstract
Antibody titres were determined in 102 Thai infants who were vaccinated at 9-months of age during the respiratory disease season. The symptom densities of illnesses at or following vaccination, including rhinorrhea and diarrhea, were significantly lower among seroconverters, although the simple presence or absence of specific symptoms was not significantly related to seroconversions. Logistic regression indicated that neutralization test antibody titres below the median titre of 1:80 following vaccination were significantly more frequent among those with rhinorrhea when vaccinated and among those with diarrhea after vaccination. Compared with a referent group without these symptoms, titres were lower in those who had rhinorrhea when vaccinated, rhinorrhea during the first week post vaccination, and diarrhea in either of the two follow-up weeks. Illnesses concurrent or subsequent to measles vaccination adversely affected antibody responses in these study objects.
