Diagnosis of Severe Tetanus Assisted by Next-Generation Sequencing Analysis of Etiology: A Case Report

2020-11-24

Abstract excerpt

We shared our successful treatment experience of a severe tetanus patient in China. A 50 year old male patient was admitted to our hospital 10 days after the right arm injury due to pain and masticatory weakness. The pathogen of wound secretion was confirmed to be clostridium tetanus by next-generation sequencing (NGS).The patient's condition rapidly progressed to a severe state with autonomic instability. After d...
