Question

Describe any two situations where a medical doctor would recommend the injection of pre-formed antibodies (antitoxins) into the body of a patient.

Edvaya · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Subjective. **SOLUTION** A doctor would recommend injecting pre-formed antibodies (passive immunization) in emergencies where an exceptionally rapid immune response is required: 1. **Snakebite:** A quick response is urgently required as the natural production of antibodies takes too much time. Therefore, preformed antibodies (antivenom) against the snake venom are directly injected. 2. **Tetanus Infection:** Preformed antibodies (antitoxin) are directly injected because a rapid immune response is urgently required to neutralize the deadly toxins produced by the tetanus microbes.
