Pediatric tetanus is a rare and forgotten disease in countries with high childhood tetanus toxoid vaccination rates. Therefore, the clinical manifestations, treatment and management of this potentially life-threatening disease are not well known. With a literature review and discussion of tetanus management in pediatric patients, we describe a clinical course of a rare and fatal but vaccine-preventable disease, the generalized tetanus, in an adolescent who was successfully treated.
儿科破伤风在儿童破伤风类毒素疫苗接种率高的国家是一种罕见且被遗忘的疾病。因此，这种潜在威胁生命的疾病的临床表现、治疗和管理并不为人所知。通过文献复习和讨论儿科患者破伤风的管理，我们描述了一例青少年发生的罕见但可通过疫苗预防的致死性疾病——全身型破伤风的临床经过，该患者得到了成功治疗。
