During 1997, 47 cases of tetanus were provisionally reported in the United States; 11 of these were reported from California. Of these 11, six (55%) occurred among injecting-drug users (IDUs). The substantial proportion of cases among IDUs prompted a review of reported tetanus cases in California. This report summarizes reported cases of tetanus in IDUs in California during 1987-1997 and presents two case reports for 1997.
1997年期间,美国临时报告了47例破伤风病例;其中11例来自加利福尼亚州。在这11例中,有6例(55%)发生在注射吸毒者中。注射吸毒者中破伤风病例的比例很高,促使对加利福尼亚州报告的破伤风病例进行了审查。本报告总结了1987 - 1997年加利福尼亚州注射吸毒者中报告的破伤风病例,并给出了1997年的两例病例报告。
