A patient suffering from Tetanus (Lockjaw) by Sir Charles Bell 1809
Clinical presentation:
Trismus
Risus Sardonicus (sardonic smile)
More on clinical presentation
It's not appendicitis, it's tetanus!
Also
Any kind of external stimuli (noise, light, touch) can trigger a painful spastic attack in the patient, so patients must be kept in quiet, dark rooms.
Hx & physical exam
Diagnosis
Types of tetanus:
• Generalized
• Localized
• Cephalic
• Neonatal
Treatment
Tetanus patients should still be vaccinated, because having the disease does not give you immunity against it.
