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? Can tetanus blood test detect it?Doctor's answer:
If you suspect tetanus, it can be detected through a urine test. Go to the hospital to get blood drawn, and then perform blood culture. If the blood culture contains tetanus bacteria, it means you have been infected with tetanus. Tetanus is a treatable disease. Actively administering antibiotics can lead to a full recovery. You do not need to worry too much. Make sure to practice good self-care. Increase regular exercise to boost the patient's immunity and prevent the condition from recurring.
