उत्तर
- The doctor injected the antitoxin serum, specifically human tetanus immunoglobulin injection, into the patient’s body.
- This injection contains preformed antibodies against the tetanus toxin. Since these antibodies are already prepared in the serum, they provide immediate protection by neutralizing the toxin produced by the tetanus-causing bacteria, preventing the disease from developing.
- The disease against which this injection was given is tetanus (also known as lockjaw), caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani. The injection provides artificial passive immunity to the patient because it involves the direct transfer of antibodies, rather than the patient's body producing them after exposure to an antigen.
