Tetanus is an acute infectious disease in which there is damage to the nervous system. To defeat this characteristic spasms of skeletal muscles, which may develop despite asphyxia (suffocation). It is believed that the disease is caused express scripts death of the son of Hippocrates, and then about a disease became known to the masses. It gave the name of Hippocrates express scripts described the disease and its symptoms.
Tetanus is caused by the impact of pathogen - tetanus bacillus. It is a spore-forming bacterium that exists in the form of spores in the environment. These bacteria exhibit high resistance to drugs with antiseptic express scripts and disinfectant action. express scripts In addition, these bacteria can persist in the soil at different things and objects, as well as in the faeces over the years. She did not die at 90 C for 2 hours. When they created favorable conditions, the spores express scripts germinate express scripts actively in the process of which stand out particularly strong tetanus toxins (poisons they are biological). This highly toxic substance, a strong poison - just botulinum toxin. Their names - tetanospazmin and hemolysin.
Tetanus bacillus is released from herbivores, especially from rodents, birds, and the person. Provided stick with feces. It is stored in the soil, then dust can get into almost any location and facilities.
Transmitted by contact. It enters through wounds in the mucous membranes and through any damage to the skin. It is therefore important to carefully monitor express scripts the umbilical wound in infants to prevent infection.
From an infected person to a healthy, this infection can be transmitted. express scripts The human body to the tetanus bacillus highly susceptible. express scripts Those people who have been ill with tetanus, is not produced immunity to the disease due to the fact that the dose of tetanus toxin that causes the disease is extremely low, therefore, to form the body's resistance to disease it is not enough. The most common disease seen in boys are in their teens, with a high injury rate. Also tetanus often diagnosed in workers of agricultural enterprises, and a number of industrial enterprises. Symptoms of tetanus
In this disease incubation period can range from 1 to 21 days, usually manifested tetanus after one or two weeks. Observed also cases where the disease was detected after complete healing of damaged skin or mucosa. It is believed that the heavier patient transfer tetanus, the shorter the incubation period was. Tetanus always appears sharply. The first noticeable symptom of tetanus, which is most often seen in patients who have lockjaw. This sudden convulsive lockjaw. It manifests itself through a chewing muscles spasms. After TRIZ manifestations arise following symptoms of tetanus, "sardonic express scripts smile", What causes spasm of mimic muscles and pain and difficulty in swallowing, called express scripts dysphagia and occur as a result of the contraction of muscles of the pharynx. These three symptoms of tetanus form the so-called express scripts classic triad of symptoms: their display clearly shows the revision.
In the development of the disease seizures occur at the other parts of the body - the muscles of the trunk and limbs. But in the hands and feet cramps do not occur. The tension in the muscles feel sick all the time, even during sleep. Later cramps express scripts capture intercostal muscles express scripts and diaphragm, after which the patient is having trouble breathing, express scripts breathing becomes frequent and superficial. Also difficult process of defecation and urination despite muscle tension.
If tetanus runs hard, then a strong tension and pain in the muscles of the back appears Opisthotonus. When this phenomenon back of the patient bends the arc, and, to the extent that you can move back in hand, if a person is in a supine express scripts position. Given such a strong muscle tone can be broken bones and muscles lead to bone. These seizures express scripts can take as short-term express scripts symptoms of tetanus, and as a permanent phenomenon. Seizures occur once affects the smallest express scripts stimulus. It starts from the smallest stimuli. If the disease is difficult, the seizures can occur almost continuously and cover a lot of muscle. Differ three levels of tetanus: mild, moderate and severe. The lethal outcome recorded in 25% of cases of tetanus. Diagnosis of tetanus
Diagnosis "tetanus" occurs when a specialist sees a clear manifestation of "triad" of symptoms of tetanus. There is no need for laboratory diagnosis of the disease, because the presence of clinical symptoms, even the most modern express scripts methods do not detect toxin in the blood. In order to develop early diagnosis express scripts of tetanus should be available to a thorough epidemiological history. Thus, the specialist must know about the presence of infected wounds, deep burns unworldly be informed of all accidents, pi
