Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1979
Tetanus is caused by the organism Clostridium tetani, which produces tetanospasmin, a neurotoxin responsible for the clinical manifestations of muscle rigidity and reflex spasms. The majority of cases follow an anaerobic wound infection associated with trauma. Incubation period is usually 3 days to 3 weeks. 75% of patients present with trismus.

While the incidence of clinical tetanus had decreased greatly, efforts to eradicate the disease will depend mainly upon continued stress on prophylaxis. Recent cases demonstrate the need for both continued vigil in prophylaxis and sensitivity to the early signs of the clinical disease.

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2004
Tetanus is a potentially lethal disease that is preventable with appropriate vaccination. The diagnosis is made exclusively on clinical criteria, and early recognition and treatment are essential for positive outcome. Patients should be monitored in the intensive care unit immediately on diagnosis.

Abstract Clostridium tetani is a Gram-positive spore-forming anaerobic bacillus able to infect and cause disease in both humans and animals. The bacterium is highly sensitive to oxygen but can survive in the environment as an extremely resistant metabolically inactive spore. Under suitable anaerobic conditions the spore germinates and

Tetanus is a preventable disease with proper immunization. The marked decline in the incidence over the past several decades has resulted from widespread use of tetanus prophylaxis and improved wound management in the emergency department. Emergency physicians are among the most frequent providers of tetanus vaccination. We can stress the importance of

Tetanus is een ernstige maar gelukkig zeldzame ziekte. Sinds het invoeren van de vaccinatie tegen tetanus is het aantal ziektegevallen sterk gedaald. In de periode 1984-1996 werden in Nederland in totaal dertig gevallen van tetanus bij de inspectie aangegeven. Dit succes is het gevolg van een zeer effectief vaccinatieprogramma.
