Tetanus Deaths Unnecessary,
Says AMA Health Official
Despite the outpouring of
new “wonder” drugs, man’s an
cient enemy, tetanus, has not
yet succumbed to a cure.
E\en so. death from tetanus,
or “lockjaw” as it is commonly
called, is “almost entirely un
necessary,” says Raymond L.
White, M.D , Director of En
vironmental Medicine for the
American Medical Association.
“As a disease, tetanus is com
pletely preventable,” Dr. White
noted. “The only reason it per
sists is that people fail to get
immunized, or fail to maintain
their immunity. Out of sheer
neglect, three-fourths of the
people don t ha\ e the protection
they need.
‘ If it weren't for medicine's
continual concern over the pos
sibility of tetanus—if practically
every time a physician saw a
wound he didn’t take precau
tions against tetanus—the dis
ease would rank much higher
among human killers.”
Tetanus is caused bv a deadly
poison emitted bv certain bac
teria which contaminate certain
types of wounds—especially
puncture wounds, or wounds
with imbedded dirt.
The bacteria itself cannot
survive long enough in the open
air to infect wounds. But its
seeds or spores can.
Tetanus spires are usually
produced by bacteria growing
within the air-free intestinal
tracts of mammals, including
rnan, and reach the ground in
animal manure. Within the in
testines, bacteria cause no harm
to their host, other than to serve
as factories for the production
of spores.
Once on the ground the
spores, which are unaffected by
air, arid are borne great dis
Puncture wounds are a common cause of tetanus.
Stances on the wind, can survive
for as Jong as 11 years. Besides
cultivated land, they axe com
monly found in household dust
and the grime of cits' streets.
Some have even been detected
in hospital operating rooms—
tracked in on street shoes.
The spores in some sections
of the country are nearly as
common as dirt, and await onlv
the nzht kind of wound to start
! their chain of infection.
| Because of its peculiar nature,
tetanus has never been a mass
killer like some infectious dis
eases. it is, however, a vicious
enemy, killing 60 per cent of
those it strikes.
Development of immunity
against tetanus, says Dr. White,
requires a series of inoculations
— three injections foui weeks
apart, followed within six to
twelve months by a booster dose.
To maintain this protection,
additional booster shots are nec
essary every four Years.
“Protection.” he said, “should
begin early in life—one to two
months after birth-for the
scrapes and falls of childhood
offer tetanus many opportunities.
But adults need protection
too. With the new emphasis on
outdoor living, with accidents
on the increase and with the
spore of tetanus in the dust and
dirt all about us, we can only
look forward to an increase in
this deadly disease unless we
make better use of our good
sense, get immunized and keep
immunized.” •
