Is tetanus expensive

summary

Tetanus often leads to fever, some of which may lead to syncope. Let's share with you whether the treatment of tetanus is expensive.

Is tetanus expensive

First of all, the treatment of tetanus is relatively simple, and the drugs for the treatment of tetanus are not particularly expensive, and the treatment effect is also relatively obvious.

Secondly, local tetanus only affected the muscles near the wound, such as facial muscles, single limb or upper body muscles, but lower limb muscle tension was normal. This kind of manifestation may also be the early manifestation of tetanus.

Finally, antibiotic treatment: Clostridium tetanus does not invade the blood circulation and other organs and tissues, and its pathogenicity is completely caused by the exotoxin produced by bacteria. If the local infection can be completely drained and the anaerobic environment can be removed, the purpose of pathogen treatment can be achieved. Therefore, the purpose of antibiotic application is limited to killing Clostridium tetanus propagules and pyogenic bacteria invading the wound at the same time. The propagules of Clostridium tetanus are sensitive to penicillin. The usual dose is 1.6-2.4 million U / D penicillin, which is injected intramuscularly in several times. If the patient is allergic to penicillin, or complicated with severe pulmonary infection and wound infection, other antibiotics should be used alone or in combination according to the results of bacterial culture susceptibility test.

matters needing attention

In the case of wound rupture, we must go to the hospital for examination in time. After the wound rupture, we must not use water to clean the wound, because the water contains certain bacteria, which will cause re infection of the wound.
