Tetanus toxoid is a vaccine that prevents a person from contracting lockjaw. Lockjaw is a potentially deadly disease because its poison attacks the nervous system.
Lockjaw is another word for the medical condition tetanus. Tetanus is caused by bacteria and causes stiffness in the jaw and neck. The bacteria which causes tetanus is found everywhere and is contracted by touching a contaminated item with a part of your body that is punctured or cut.
The simple answer is that you could get tetanus. Tetanus is a serious disease that attacks your nervous system. It causes locked jaw, neck stiffness, difficulty swallowing, rigidity of the stomach, muscle spasms, seizure-like activity, and death in about 10-20% of patients. It is common in soil and spread through bacteria that enters the body through cuts in the skin, so you don't need to be near someone who is infected to get the disease.
Tetanus is a disease that affects the muscles and the respiratory system. The difference between tetanus and TIG or tetanus immunoglobulin is that the latter is a form of preventative vaccine for tetanus.
The disease is known as tetanus, a potentially deadly infection of the nervous system caused by bacteria, C. tetani, which lives in soil. Tetanus causes tightening of the skeletal muscles, with one of the first symptoms usually being a tightening of jaw muscles or "lock jaw."
Yes. there is one dangerous in a tetanus shot and that is tetanus.
The Tdap vaccine protects against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough). All of these are serious, potentially deadly illnesses caused by bacteria.
Tetanus vaccine is a vaccine composed of inactivated tetanus toxins.This vaccine is immunogenic but not pathogenic and is used to prevent an individual from contracting tetanus. Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, is a disease caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani which enters the body through open wounds and releases a poison called tetanospasmin. This is a potentially deadly disease because the poison attacks the nervous system blocking nerve signals from the spinal cord to and from the muscles. However this disease is preventable through injecting multiple doses of vaccines and administering the recommended booster shot every ten years.
The drug classification of tetanus toxoid is a vaccine. Tetanus toxoid works by helping the body to build up immunity to tetanus.
