Do you knows DPT (Diphtheria, Pertussis and Tetanus)? "Tips For Blogger"

Immunization is putting vaccines into the body to create an anti to prevent disease.

The vaccine is a substance made ​​of bacteria, components of bacteria, germs or toxins that have been attenuated or turned off.


Diphtheria vaccine made ​​from the germs of diphtheria toxin that has been weakened.

Tetanus vaccine is tetanus toxin that has been attenuated bacteria and then purified.

Pertussis vaccine is made from the bacteria Bordetella pertussis which have been turned off.

Furthermore, all three vaccines are packed together, known as DPT vaccine. (Prof. DR.A.H. Markum, 2000: 18)

DPT is an effort to gain immunity against disease Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus germs by entering diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus that have been weakened and turned off into the body so the body can produce substances that in time the anti body uses to fight germs or third seed disease .
b. DPT Immunization Benefit AssociationOne of the efforts for the children not to suffer from a disease is by way of giving immunizations. With this immunization will make an anti-body in large amounts, so that the child is immune to the disease. So the goal is to make the child's DPT immune to the disease Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus.

In addition, the benefits of DPT are:a. To generate active immunity in the same time against diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), tetanus.b. In the event of illness, will be much lighter than the natural disease.
Naturally to a certain extent the body also has a way of making itself immune to the entry of germs into the body. But when the number of incoming and vicious enough, the baby will be sick. With the growing technological world of medicine, severe pain can still be addressed with medication. However prevention is far better than treatment.

c.Type Disease That Can Be Prevented With DPT Immunization

1.Difteri
 Diphtheria disease is caused by a type of bacteria called Corynebacterium diphtheriae. It is highly virulent and contagious. A child will be infected with diphtheria when he was in direct contact with other children as patients or as carriers of diphtheria bacteria (career): with spark inhaled air containing the germs. When a real child suffering from diphtheria can be easily separated. But a career will still be hanging around and playing with her ​​friends because she was not sick. So, in terms of transmission, the son of a career is a source of disease transmission is difficult to eradicate. In this the need for immunization. By immunization of children will be spared, while his friends who have never received diphtheria immunization will catch the disease from his friend who became a career.

Children who contracted diphtheria will suffer a high fever. In addition to the tonsils (tonsillitis) or throat visible membrane dirty white. With the rapid membrane extends into the throat and cover the inner airway, so the child as if choking and difficult breathing. Another crisis is the presence of diphtheria toxin produced by diphtheria bacteria. These toxins can attack the heart muscle, kidney and some nerve fibers. Deaths from diphtheria is very high usually caused the child suffocated by a white membrane on the throat or the heart due to diphtheria toxins that damage the heart muscle.

2. Pertussis 

Pertussis, or whooping cough, or better known as the hundred-day cough, is caused by bacteria Bordetella pertussis. The disease is quite severe when suffered by children under five, can even cause death in children aged less than 1 year. The symptoms are very typical, the children suddenly loud cough continually, difficult to stop, face becomes red or bluish, the tears and sometimes even vomiting. Due to a very loud cough, may be accompanied by the release of small amounts of blood. Coughing will stop after a high-pitched sound when breathing in, then will look tired with a listless face. Such cough is especially true at night.
When the disease suffered by an infant, especially a few months old, would constitute a very serious condition and can lead to death due to a complication.

3.Tetanus 

Tetanus disease is still found throughout the world, because of the possibility of the child to get the wound remains. For example falls, puncture wounds, burns, ulceration, animal bites, perforated teeth, inflammation of the ear. The entrance wound is tetanus bacteria known as Clostridium tetani. The bacteria will proliferate and form a dangerous poison. These toxins that damage the central nervous system cells of the spine on which the onset of symptoms of disease. Typical symptoms of tetanus is a spasm, and stiff as a whole, a palpable abdominal wall muscles hard and tense as a board, mouth stiff and difficult to open.

d. The Immunization Schedule

 Basic immunization of DPT are given three times, because during the first immunization does not have protective antibody levels against diphtheria and will have to get immunization levels of antibody after 3 times. Starting as a baby aged two months with an interval between two injections at least 4 weeks.DPT immunization should not be given to terminally ill children and children who suffer from diseases of complex febrile seizures. Jiga should not be given to children with cough suspected may have been suffering from whooping cough. If at first DPT injection severe reaction following the injections should not be given DPT again but DT alone (without P). (Prof. DR.A.H. Markum, 2000)

DPT is usually not given to children younger than 6 weeks, caused the response to pertussis is not considered optimal, while the response to tetanus and diphtheria is good enough regardless of the presence of maternal antibodies.
e. DPT Immunization Side Effects 

Approximately half of the recipients on the DPT will be redness, swelling and pain at the injection site. The same proportion will suffer a mild fever. Children are often restless and cried continuously for several hours post-injection.

Sometimes there is a more serious side effects such as high fever or seizures are usually caused by pertusis element.
