The theropeutic effect of JiDesheng antivenom tablets in treatment of tetanus / 中华创伤杂志(英文版)

ABSTRACT

Tetanus is caused by the extremely toxic neurotoxin produced by clostridium tetan i. This toxin shows some similarities with snake venom, both being neur otoxic and having somewhat similar functional groups in their molecular structure and so on. Because of these we decided to use JiDesheng antivenom tablets in the treatm ent of tetanus. Since 1987 we have successfully treated 10 cases of tetanus and ideal results were obtained. This report describes 3 typical cases.
