Q

Why would you give artificial passive to a patient?

A

When you need immediate protection. (Like anti venom.) (Antibody from a horse) (Hep B immunoglobulin- don’t have time for you to produce your own antibodies) (rabies- series of shots with antigens and antibodies, because 0% chance of survival with rabies) so you want short term and long term help
