Abstract
Tetanus in children treated with intrathecal tetanus immunoglobulin clinical profile, therapy, and outcome research. Immunoglobulin, medicines to control spasms and antibiotics to kill the organism are all part of the therapy of tetanus. The standard textbook recommendation is to administer TIG intramuscularly as soon as feasible. From 500IU to 6000, the suggested dosage is based on one's needs. Tetanus was diagnosed on the basis of clinical characteristics. IV fluids, or pharyngeal toilet, and nursing care were all part of the supportive treatment. The tetanus toxoid was given to all youngsters before they were released from the hospital. 192 people were hospitalized with tetanus. 166 of the 192 people treated received TIG intrathecally. 26 children received intrathecal and intramuscular TIG treatments. In 42 (58 percent) of the cases, the portal of entrance was otogenic, whereas in 23 (30 percent) of the instances, the portal of admission was damaged. 18 (65) of the post-injury cases had incubation periods of less than a week, while 10 (35) had incubation periods of more than a week. 16 cases (or 20%) were classified as light, 49 (71%) as moderate, and 8 (or 9%) as severe using the modified Patel and Jog criteria, 64 percent of the patients had a fever at the time of the beginning of illness. Research on the effectiveness of intrathecal TIG as a treatment for tetanus is essential, particularly in the case of severe forms of the disease. It was believe that children with tetanus should have access to intrathecal TIG therapy since it is efficacious, safe, and affordable
