We report a case of generalized tetanus in a 31-year-old male originating from a surgical wound after repair of an achilles tendon rupture. Our case illustrates an unusual source of tetanus, the need for tetanus prophylaxis before surgery, and the importance of asking about primary tetanus immunization, particularly in immigrants.
我们报告一例31岁男性的全身性破伤风病例，其破伤风源于跟腱断裂修复术后的手术伤口。我们的病例说明了破伤风的一种不寻常来源、手术前进行破伤风预防的必要性，以及询问原发性破伤风免疫情况的重要性，特别是对于移民而言。
