缅甸的麻风病人特别易受损伤且常发生破伤风,因此需要抗破伤风的免疫力。作者进行了破伤风免疫是否会诱发麻风反应的研究。 357例(80.4％为瘤型)住院病人接受三个剂量的精制破伤风类毒素,开始用1ml,然后在6周和6个月分别再用1ml。60例(75％为瘤型)院外病人为对照。注射前2个月,注射期的6个月和注射后1个月观察两组患者麻风反应的情况。前者 Leprosy in Myanmar is particularly vulnerable and often has tetanus and therefore requires tetanus immunity. The authors conducted a study on whether tetanus immunization can induce leprosy. In-hospital patients received three doses of refined tetanus toxoid in 357 patients (80.4% of tumors), starting with 1 ml and then re-using 1 ml at 6 weeks and 6 months respectively. Sixty patients (75% tumor type) were hospital-based controls. Two months prior to injection, six months after injection and one month after injection, the leprosy response was observed in both groups. former
