Abstract

The tetanus has been eliminated in the pregnancy women and newborns in China. However, there is a gap for adult tetanus immunization, and the risk of tetanus infection cannot be ignored. In order to clearly understand the effect of the tetanus to human beings and the current use of tetanus immunological preparation for adult post-exposure prophylaxis, the incidence of the tetanus, the use status of tetanus immunological preparation and recommendations for post-exposure prophylaxis at home and abroad were reviewed and summarized, which may provide academic evidence for post-exposure prophylaxis procedures and use of tetanus immunological preparation.

我国已经成功消除了孕妇及新生儿破伤风,但目前成人含破伤风成分疫苗接种覆盖率仍较低,发生破伤风感染的危险不容忽视。为了解破伤风对人类的威胁以及现阶段破伤风免疫制剂用于成人暴露后免疫的情况,本研究对国内外破伤风的发病情况、破伤风免疫制剂的接种现状和暴露后免疫建议等进行综述和梳理,从而为破伤风免疫制剂的暴露后免疫程序和使用规范提供科学支撑。.
