Gamma globulin provides significant protection against paralytic poliomyelitis in children during epidemics.
A 1953 study conducted an editorial in Poliomyelitis (n=54,772). Red Cross gamma globulin was evaluated on Incidence of paralysis and severity of cases. Red Cross gamma globulin provided highly significant protection against paralytic poliomyelitis, reducing the incidence of paralysis and modifying severity in children.
