Use:

Responder status is determined according to the ratio of post-vaccination concentration to pre-vaccination concentration of Haemophilus influenza b antibody, IgG as follows:

1.        If the post-vaccination concentration is less than 3.0 µg/mL, the patient is considered a nonresponder.

2.        If the post-vaccination concentration is greater than or equal to 3.0 µg/mL, a patient with a ratio of greater than or equal to 4 is a good responder, a ratio of 2-4 is a weak responder, and a ratio of less than 2 is considered a nonresponder.
