Tetanus is a temporary functional alteration of the central nervous system caused by the production of exotoxins by the bacillus tetanus multiplying in a wound infected with pyogenic bacteria. The clinical manifestations of tetanus are persistent tonic and paroxysmal spasms of skeletal muscles throughout the body, and in severe cases, laryngospastic asphyxia, pulmonary infection, and failure. The tetanus bacillus invades the wound, and under low oxygen conditions (tetanus bacillus is a specialized anaerobic bacterium) it can rapidly multiply locally and produce toxins. Neonatal tetanus is caused by umbilical cord infection and has a high morbidity and mortality rate. Despite the World Health Organization’s aggressive global immunization program, it is estimated that nearly one million tetanus cases and hundreds of thousands of neonatal deaths from tetanus occur worldwide each year. Diagnosis of tetanus: Laboratory tests reveal a mild increase in total white blood cells and neutrophils. Anaerobic cultures have Bacillus tetani. Wound pus culture can be cultured with Staphylococcus or E. coli today. Tetanus treatment: After the disease must immediately go to the hospital to receive tetanus antitoxin treatment, along with the use of Chinese medicine, acupuncture and other medical treatment. The prevention of tetanus: the prevention of this disease are: 1, the correct treatment of wounds. For usually small wounds, you can first use tap water or well water to rinse the mud and ash outside the wound. If you have the conditions, you can apply iodine and other disinfectant drops to the wound, then cover the wound with a clean cloth and gently bandage it before going to the hospital for further treatment. For some large wounds, you can first press the wound with a clean cloth, and then quickly go to the hospital for medical treatment. 2, pay attention to maternal hygiene. 3.Injections for prophylaxis. 4.Take internal Chinese medicine. Tetanus is an acute disease caused by tetanus bacillus. It invades the body through wounds on the skin or mucous membranes, producing toxins that make people sick. The deeper and dirtier the wound, the more suitable it is for the growth and reproduction of the tetanus bacillus, and the more chances of tetanus occurring. Tetanus usually occurs about 5 to 14 days after the trauma, but also up to several months. The tetanus bacterium produces spasm toxins that attack the nerves, causing all the muscles of the body to be in a constant state of tense contraction (muscle stiffness). The condition starts on the head and face and progresses to the hands, feet and trunk. Patients first notice difficulty in opening their mouths, slurred speech, difficulty in eating, and as the condition worsens, they notice closed teeth, a bitter smile, a straight neck, stiffness on the hands and feet, and even keratoconus (the patient’s head is tilted back and the waist is convex in an arch shape). The slightest stimulus (e.g., sound, light, etc.) can cause a generalized cramp that lasts from a few seconds to several minutes. Patients often sweat profusely, have blue lips, shortness of breath, or even stop breathing during cramps. Severe patients tend to die about a week after the onset of the disease. Tetanus is mostly treated symptomatically and has a high mortality rate. But this disease is a completely preventable disease. The skin trauma should be cleaned and bandaged, and tetanus antitoxin should be injected within 24 hours, so that tetanus can be prevented, and even if it occurs, it is lighter than the bias.
