How much time after the injury does tetanus strike

Tetanus should be immunized within 24 hours of injury, and the principle of immunization against tetanus bacteria consists of three parts, the first is the correct treatment of wounds, because the tetanus bacillus it exists, mainly in the nature of the dry soil and dust species survival, so it is necessary to clear the wound in time, to prevent the formation of an anaerobic environment in the body. Next is to carry out immunization, you can use whooping cough vaccine, diphtheria toxoid and tetanus toxoid of the white tetanus triple preparation, basic immunization, so that the people who have had the basic immunization of the injury, immediately after the inoculation of a shot of the toxoid, can be effective in preventing infection. If no basic immunization has been carried out, an injection of tetanus antimicrobial toxin is needed immediately after the injury to obtain passive immunity, which is also a means and measure of emergency prophylaxis. If adequate immunization with Tetanus toxoid has not been administered early, an adequate dose of TAT, or tetanus antimicrobial toxin, should be administered early in patients who have developed the disease because once the toxin binds to the cellular receptor, the antitoxin fails to synthesize the virulent effects of Clostridium tetani, and so patients with advanced stages of the infection usually die.
