Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why 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? I have a skin test allergy to tetanus vaccine and am seeking treatment.Doctor's answer:
The tetanus antitoxin is more likely to cause allergic reactions. If you are allergic to tetanus antitoxin, you can use tetanus immune globulin. Tetanus immune globulin generally does not require a skin test and can be administered directly. It is highly unlikely to cause a recurrence of an allergic reaction. If you have a wound, you should also receive proper wound sterilization training, which is also very important.
