What is Tetanus about?

Tetanus is an acute, spastic paralytic illness caused by the neurotoxin from Clostridium tetani, with four forms: generalized, neonatal, local, and cephalic. It is preventable through vaccination, yet remains a significant cause of mortality worldwide, particularly in neonates. Diagnosis is clinical, and treatment involves wound care, immunoglobulin, antibiotics, and muscle relaxants, with prevention relying on routine immunization.
