[Reaction of the biologically active points of the skin to immunization with typhus vaccine]

Pshenichnov VA, Anisimov AA, MikhaÄlov VV, Efimova EP.

Electroacupuncture diagnosis was used to demonstrate the reaction of biologically active points of the skin (BAPS) to immunization with typhus vaccine. In 7 persons immunized with chemical and live (strain E) typhus vaccines, the reaction differed significantly from the initial parameters and other measurement data obtained in a group of unvaccinated subjects. The reaction of the BAPS was noticeable starting from the first day after vaccination and was far ahead of seroimmune shifts detectable in the host. The best correlation was established between the seroimmune response and the activity of the acupuncture points on meridians X and I (a positive correlation) and on meridians III, VIII and XI (a negative correlation).
