A member asked:

Can someone that is infected with the tetanus bacteria, be treated if it is progressed moderately and is tetanus disease slow growing or rapid. is there a blood test to detect tetanus to see if you are infected? the last time i had a tetanus shot was 26

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Clinical diagnosis: Tetanus is a clinical diagnosis, not by conventional culture. There is no blood test either for diagnosis. The best way to prevent tetanus is to get immunization and booster dose every ten years, .
