Measles prophylaxis with reactivated serum

In the search for different ways to prevent measles, passive prophylaxis is the most developed method. Timely and sufficient administration of serum from measles revivals is a valid measure to prevent or reduce the severity of the disease. But, unfortunately, we cannot have a sufficient supply of serum from the recuperators, because of the difficulty in obtaining blood from children. All attempts to replace recuperative serum with serum obtained by immunizing animals have failed. Therefore, Degquitz's proposal to replace recuperative serum with adult serum has found a lively response among pediatricians.
