Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's going on, I've been having high fever that won't go down. The hospital said it's a viral infection. What kind of infectious disease did I get? How do I desensitize to 0.75ml of tetanus?Doctor's answer:
For tetanus skin testing, if an allergic reaction reoccurs, desensitization treatment is required. For tetanus desensitization with 0.75 mL, a small dose of tetanus antitoxin is taken and then dissolved in physiological saline. It is administered in multiple doses with an interval of more than 20 minutes to carefully observe for any allergic reactions. However, if the allergic reaction is significant, it may be considered to use tetanus immune globulin without the need for skin testing.
