ALLERGY VS. IMMUNITY  08R3-643

IMMUNITY VS. ALLERGY  08R3-643

  "Pirquet advises that the term 'immunity' be limited to indicate

the condition of complete resistance in which no clinical reaction

occurs, when poisons [such as diptheria, tetanus, etc.) are

introduced into the organism.  He suggests the term 'Allergie' to

indicate conditions of acquired immunity associated with

anaphylaxis, such as that induced by vaccinia against variola, that

of the luetic vs. syphilis, or of that produced by one attack of

some of the acute specific infections."
