Passive-active immunity is useful for the exposure of the following infection:

A
Rabies
B
Hepatitis B
C
Varicella-zoster
D
All of the above
High-Yield Explanation
Passive-active immunity is induced by giving both immunoglobulins to provide immediate protection and a vaccine to provide long-term protection. Rabies immune globulin (RIG) is used in the prevention of rabies in people who may have been exposed to the virus. Hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) is used in the prevention of hepatitis B in people who may have been exposed to the virus either by needle-stick or as a neonate born of a mother who is a carrier of HBV. Varicella-zoster immune globulin (VZIG) is used in the prevention of disseminated zoster in people who may have been exposed to the virus and who are immunocompromised. Ref: Levinson W. (2012).
