    Tetanus is an infectious disease with a very high mortality rate, caused by the invasion of Clostridium tetani into wounds and the production of exotoxins. If there are some narrow, deep, heavily contaminated wounds, and no timely injection of passive immune preparations, it is easy to develop tetanus. The exotoxin produced by Clostridium tetani mainly invades the motor nerve cells in the nervous system, producing symptoms such as trismus, wry smile, muscle stiffness, paroxysmal spasms of the muscles of the whole body, and sometimes severe spasms of the respiratory muscles, resulting in suffocation and death.

    In some cases, the cause of death is autonomic dysfunction that develops several days later.

    Asphyxia: due to persistent spasm of the laryngeal respiratory muscles and mucous phlegm blocking the trachea;

    Lung infection: laryngeal spasm, poor airway, stagnation of bronchial secretions, and inability to turn over frequently are all causes of atelectasis due to pneumonia;

    Acidosis: respiratory acidosis caused by poor breathing and insufficient ventilation, strong muscle contraction, incomplete decomposition of body fat after fasting, and the increase of acidic metabolites resulting in metabolic acidosis;

    Circulatory failure: due to hypoxia and poisoning, tachycardia can occur, and heart failure can occur after too long, and even shock or cardiac arrest can occur. These complications are often an important cause of death and should be prevented.

    The family cut the umbilical cord with an unsterilized razor, causing the baby girl to die of tetanus.

    March 6th (Strait *** reporter Li Xihui) A baby girl who was only 15 days old left her parents forever because of neonatal tetanus before she could take a good look at the world. Why do children get tetanus?The doctor said that the child was delivered at home, and after the birth, the family used an unsterilized razor to cut the umbilical cord of the child, causing the child to become infected.

    At about 7 o'clock in the evening of March 1, a pair of migrant workers from Yunnan rushed to Fuzhou from Minhou with their 10-day-old child. "The child's whole body convulsions and his ** became black and purple", Chen Yahong, the attending physician of the eighth district of the Infectious Disease Department of the Municipal Infectious Disease Hospital, still remembers the situation when the child was just sent in.

    After examination, doctors confirmed that the newborn was infected with tetanus. The child's parents, both young people in their early twenties and with a meager income, decided to deliver the baby at home. When the child's mother was about to give birth, the family boiled water, and after the child was born, her grandmother used a razor to cut the umbilical cord.

    The knives were simply washed with liquor and were not strictly sterilized.

    A few days after the child was born, he had symptoms such as difficulty breathing and convulsions, and the family panicked and sent him to the hospital for rescue.

    According to Dr. Chen, neonatal tetanus refers to the toxic damage to the central nervous system caused by the tetanus bacillus invading the human body and multiplying in the wound to produce exotoxins, and in severe cases, laryngospasm and asphyxia, lung infection and failure can lead to death.

    She reminded rural women to give birth in nearby health centers and hospitals as much as possible. The reporter learned that starting from this year, the new rural cooperative cooperative system in our province will subsidize the township mothers who have planned to give birth. When a rural woman gives birth in a township health center, it costs about 800 yuan to give birth naturally, of which the NCMS reimburses more than 600 yuan, plus the state's subsidy of 400 yuan, so that the rural woman not only gives birth free of charge, but also has a surplus of 1 or 200 yuan.

    Even if it is a caesarean section, the individual only needs to pay about 100 yuan after reimbursement.

However, after some rusty iron nails and relatively long wooden thorns are pierced into the body, such wounds are relatively deep, and bacteria are easy to remain in the wounds, so tetanus injections are especially needed. >>>More
