WHAT INFANRIX
PENTA IS USED FOR
INFANRIX PENTA is a vaccine
used in infants from the age of 6
weeks to prevent five diseases;
diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis
(whooping cough), hepatitis B and
poliomyelitis (polio). The vaccine
works by causing the body to
produce its own protection
(antibodies) against these diseases.
Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis are
all serious life-threatening diseases
caused by bacterial infection.
Hepatitis B and poliomyelitis are
infectious diseases caused by viral
infection.
DIPHTHERIA
Diphtheria mainly affects the airways
and sometimes the skin. Generally
the airways become inflamed
(swollen) causing severe breathing
difficulties and sometimes
suffocation. The bacteria also release
a toxin (poison), which can cause
nerve damage, heart problems, and
death. The risk of serious
complications and death is greater in
the very young and elderly.
TETANUS (LOCKJAW)
Tetanus bacteria enter the body
through wounded skin. Wounds that
are especially prone to infection are
burns, fractures, deep wounds or
wounds contaminated with soil, dust,
horse manure or wood splinters. The
bacteria release a toxin (poison),
which can cause muscle stiffness,
painful muscle spasms, fits and
death. The spasms can be strong
