Tetanus skin test 10 9 allergies

Tetanus is an infection caused by Clostridium tetanus invading the human body through skin or mucosal wounds, growing and reproducing in an oxygen-deficient environment, producing toxins and causing muscle spasms. Tetanus toxin mainly invades motor neuritis in the nervous system, characterized by clinical manifestations of trismus, paroxysmal spasms and tonic convulsions. Tetanus can be effectively prevented by vaccination with tetanus antitoxin. However, a skin test is required before tetanus antitoxin is used. Although the positive rate of tetanus antitoxin skin test is relatively high, it is not to the extent of nine allergies in ten skin tests. Even if tetanus antitoxin skin test is positive, desensitization test can be done, or another batch of tetanus vaccine can be replaced for skin test, or tetanus vaccine from different manufacturers can be replaced for skin test. If you are allergic, you can inject tetanus immunoglobulin, tetanus immunoglobulin does not need skin test, tetanus prevention effect and tetanus antitoxin effect is the same, but tetanus immunoglobulin price is more expensive.
