Key Points on Tetanus toxoid ➖ Introduction: Tetanus Toxoid (TT) is a vaccine used to prevent tetanus. ➖ Tetanus is a serious bacterial infection that causes stiffness in the muscles, often leading to lockjaw, difficulty in swallowing, and in severe cases, breathing problems. ➖ The bacteria that cause tetanus can survive for a long time outside the body, and are usually found in soil, dust, and animal waste. ➖ Age of Administration: In many places, TT vaccines are usually given to children as part of a combined vaccine in the first few years of life. ➖ Following the basic immunization coverage during infancy, booster doses are recommended. ➖ A common schedule might involve booster shots at 4-6 years and again at 9-12 years. ➖ However, the specific schedule can depend on the country's immunizations program. ➖ Efficacy: The TT vaccine is extremely effective at preventing tetanus. After a complete series of immunizations, nearly all people are immune to tetanus. ➖ Booster shots every 10 years after the initial series keep that immunity strong. ➖ Safety: The tetanus vaccine is safe for most people. ➖ Common side effects are minor and include redness and swelling at the injection site, a mild fever, and some aches or fatigue. ➖ Severe side effects are rare. ➖ Importance: Tetanus cannot be cured once someone is infected, and the disease is often lethal, which makes prevention through vaccination vital.

🟣 Mycetoma ▪️ About Mycetoma ➔ Mycetoma is caused by bacterial or fungal infections that typically enter the body through cuts in the skin. It leads to severe tissue damage, swollen limbs, and deformities. ➔ It was first documented in the mid-19th century in Madurai, India, and initially termed “Madura Foot.” ➔ Over 70 different species of bacteria and fungi have been identified as causative organisms. ➔ Symptoms include swollen feet and growths resembling barnacles. ▪️ Vulnerable Groups ➔ Commonly affects males aged 15–30 years in developing nations. ➔ Individuals with low socioeconomic status, particularly agricultural workers, laborers, and herdsmen, are most at risk. ▪️ Geographical Distribution ➔ Mycetoma is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions known collectively as the “Mycetoma Belt,” including countries like India, Sudan, Mexico, Chad, Ethiopia, Mauritania, Yemen, Somalia, Venezuela, Senegal, and Thailand. ➔ The highest number of cases have been reported from Mexico and Sudan. ▪️ Mode of Transmission The infection usually occurs when the organism enters through minor wounds, especially thorn pricks. ➔ Walking barefoot and manual outdoor work significantly increase risk. ➔ Human-to-human transmission does not occur. ▪️ Treatment ➔ Bacterial mycetoma: Treated with antibiotics. ➔ Fungal mycetoma: Managed with a combination of antifungal therapy and surgical intervention. ➔ Treatment is often prolonged, costly, associated with significant side effects, and outcomes are frequently unsatisfactory. ➔ Amputation is sometimes necessary in advanced fungal infections. ▪️ Prevention and Control ➔ No global surveillance system; Sudan is the only country with a specific control program. ➔ Preventive measures include wearing footwear to reduce exposure. ➔ Awareness generation and early case detection are crucial.

🟣 Co-analgesics These are other drugs that are not primarily analgesics, but can help to relieve pain. In particular, neuropathic pain is relatively insensitive to opioids; drugs such as antidepressants and anticonvulsants are more effective, e.g. amitryptiline or gabapentin. Tramadol is a weak opioid that has some action at adrenergic and serotonin receptors and so may be useful for combination nociceptive and neuropathic pain. Muscle spasm often responds to benzodiazepines.
