Tetanus skin test is mainly performed with tetanus antitoxin, which is mainly extracted from horse serum. If the patient is allergic and has a positive reaction after tetanus skin test, desensitization injection treatment is required. Desensitization injection treatment of tetanus antitoxin is mainly diluted with tetanus antitoxin injection, and then divided into four injections, one injection every half hour for a total of two hours. Or it is to use tetanus immunoglobulin and so on for injection, which can also achieve effective preventive effect. Tetanus immunoglobulin does not need skin test and will not cause allergy.
