Vaccination -DTP vaccine
Clostridium tetani (CI. Tetani) is a gram-positive bacilli (Drum-stick appearance), spore
forming, strict (obligate) anaerobic bacterium, belonging to the genus Clostridium
Clostridium tetani causing Tetanus by production of potent neurotoxin known as tetanospasmin
More than 300 thousand people lose their lives because of Tetanus. The condition of a person infected with Tetanus becomes very poor. Most of the population has a perception that Tetanus is caused only by getting an iron cut, although it is not true. A person may get infected if the spores of clostridium tetani bacteria entered his body through the wounds. After entering the wounds, this bacteria starts to divide and increase its population. Along with that, this bacteria releases a very powerful Tetanospamin toxin in the wound.
In this video we describe the process of infection with Clostridium tetani and how the toxin it releases interrupts nervous control of our muscles, leading to tetanus. This loss of muscle control causes the convulsive muscle spasms typical of tetanus, which are so severe they can cause bone fractures and dislocations. Death often occurs due to respiratory failure or cardiac arrest
These toxins affect the motor muscles of our body. At the initial stage, your jaw muscles start to get stretched and the jaw gets locked. Thereafter, the muscles of the neck, abdominal, and other muscles of your body start getting stretched out which makes your condition really worse. As time passes, the infected person starts to get uncommon sweating, fever, and high-low BP. As the complications increase, severe spasms and stiffness in the muscles cause some mild fractures, and it becomes uneasy for the person to breathe, which ultimately leads to death. Tetanus can also infect someone if his body comes in contact with an infected newborn with the umbilical cord, or shared unsanitary needles

Clinical manifestations of Tetanus including lockjaw, sardonic grin, opisthotonos
Tetanus characterized by strong muscle spasms (spastic paralysis)
Movement of our voluntary muscles is controlled by our central nervous system.
With adequate immunization, tetanus is a completely preventable disease. However in developing nations, without comprehensive vaccination programmes, tetanus remains one of the top ten causes of death. Universal vaccination, including pregnant women, is vital to preventing this terrible affliction.
