Figure 2 Association between the cord blood concentration of infliximab and the response to HiB or tetanus toxoid vaccines. (A) HiB. The median infliximab cord blood levels in infants with adequate and inadequate serologic response to HiB were 24.3 and 43.0 mcg/mL, respectively (P = .30). (B) Tetanus toxoid. The median infliximab cord blood levels in infants with adequate and inadequate serologic response to tetanus were 31.4 and 41.5 mcg/mL, respectively (P = .93).
