How much is thigh tetanus?

summary

There are two kinds of tetanus injection after injury: one is the commonly used refined tetanus antitoxin, which can cause anaphylactic shock, so the allergy test must be done before injection; the other is tetanus immunoglobulin, which has no anaphylactic reaction, so it is not necessary to do the test before injection. No matter what kind of injection your child has, since there are no symptoms of adverse reactions, there is no need to worry. Let's share my experience with you.

How much is thigh tetanus?

Small wounds will not be infected with tetanus. Tetanus bacilli are anaerobic bacteria, which belong to conditional pathogens. They are easy to grow and reproduce only under anaerobic conditions or deep wounds with aerobic bacteria infection. Tetanus bacilli mostly grow in soil and rust, so tetanus antitoxin should be injected when the wound is deeply contaminated with soil or stabbed by rust like iron.

If the wound is not deep, it is not necessary to inject tetanus antitoxin as long as proper debridement is done. Or use some disinfectant such as red lotion to wipe it. If the wound is dry and there is no exudate, there is no need to wipe it again.

Tetanus antitoxin is a kind of immune horse serum, which is a kind of heterologous protein to human body and has antigenicity (allergic reaction), so allergy test should be conducted before medication. If the test result is negative, tetanus antitoxin can be injected directly. If the test result is positive, desensitization injection should be carried out, i.e. low dose tetanus antitoxin can be injected 4-5 times. For those who have used tetanus antitoxin for more than one week, the skin test should be repeated if they are used again.

matters needing attention

Tetanus is a kind of Clostridium tetani infection with a long history. It is an acute specific infection caused by Clostridium tetani invading human wounds, growing and reproducing, and producing toxins. Tetanus bacilli and its toxin can not invade normal skin and mucous membrane, so tetanus occurs after injury. Tetanus may occur in all open injuries.
