Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's going on, I've been having high fever that won't go down. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said it's a viral infection. What kind of infectious disease did I get? Please, tetanus death from a can opener woundDoctor's answer:
The incubation period of tetanus bacteria is generally about one week. After two weeks, the onset of the disease begins to reappear symptoms. For those with a short hidden period and rapid onset, the clinical symptoms are severe, with a high mortality rate. Initial symptoms may include headaches, fever, and chills. In the severe stage, there may be intense pain throughout the body's muscles, especially severe pain in the trachea, which can be life-threatening for the patient. If the infection is well-controlled, the intense pain can be managed, and the patient's life can be saved.
