What is the purpose of applying tetanus antitoxin

First of all, we need to know what is called tetanus. Tetanus refers to the infection caused by tetanus bacillus invading the human body through wounds. Its characteristic clinical manifestations are acute onset, persistent tetanus spasm, starting from neck and masseter muscle, closed teeth, rapid deterioration of the condition in a short time, and high mortality. Tetanus produces two very toxic exotoxins, tetanus spasmin and tetanus hemolysin, and the purpose of tetanus antitoxin injection is to neutralize the wound and free tetanus toxin, thus achieving the purpose of prevention and treatment of tetanus.
