INTRODUCTION 

• Historically called as locked jaw • Acute often fatal,severe  exotoxin‐mediated infection‐clostridium tetani

• Rosenbach‐1886‐first time demonstrated these bacilli

• Carlie and Rattone –first described the disease• Passive immunuzation used for treatment and prophylaxis during world war one

• Tetanus toxoid first widely used durind world war 2

ETIOLOGY 

• Clostridium tetani • Gram positive, anaerobic sporeforming organism• Terminal Spores‐ tennis racket type • Tetanospasmin‐neurotoxin• Tetanospasmin 2nd most powerful toxin after   botulinum toxin

EPIDEMIOLOGY • One of the leading cases of death in developing countries 

• Neonatal tetanus‐world wide 3,00,000 infant deaths each year 

• 80% of deaths in just 12 tropical asian and african countries

• Maternal tetanus ‐15,000‐30,00 unimmunized women die each year

MODE OF TRANSMISSION 

• Wound contaminated by tetanus spores • Pin prick, Animal bite, intrauterine death ,                ear piercing ,tattooing , 

• Unsterile cutting of umbilical cord,• Lack of aseptic care during and after delivery,• Illicit drug injection

INCUBATION PERIOD•  2‐14 days (may be as long as months after the injury) •  Lesser the incubation period more the mortality
