Abstract |
|
Tetanus is uncommon in developed countries and it
occurs in older adults. The majority of tetanus
cases occur in third world countries and 50% of
these cases occur in neonates. Tetanus is a rarely
occurring disease in Iran. We report a 41-year-old
man admitted to Imam Khomeini Hospital with spasms
in face and lumbar muscles.
Finally, inspite of intubation and drug therapy the
patient was expired because of autonomic system
disorder, and cardiac arrest.
Keywords:
Tetanus, Rare.
