Tetanus:
A bacterial disease that affects horses and some farm animals and is infected by the contamination of infected or infected wounds or contamination of umbilical cord remnants of modern babies with tetanus toxin. The pathogenic effect is caused by the toxins produced by the clostridium.
Clinical symptoms:
1. The average incubation period is about six days but may last up to three weeks.
2. The disease is characterized by severe contraction of painful tremors, which is initially in the muscles of the ganglia and muscles of the neck and leads to the adhesion of the jaws and then extends to the rest of the body and limbs and commonly, the first symptoms that suggest tetanus in infected horses are the erection of the ears and expansion of the nostrils and the inability to move Or chewing food with increased sensitivity to sounds and external influences, while in the human is noted abdominal contraction, but the contraction may include the area of injury, and will reduce the muscles of the abdomen to hold urine and constipation normally. The general contraction usually occurs due to nervous alertness and the typical picture of tetanus contraction is in the dorsal spasm situation and in the facial expression called the cortex.
4. The temperature is normal unless there is another infection and the patient is conscious.
5. The mortality rate is high due to suffocation and inability to swallow.
6- The symptoms of tetanus in newborns are similar to adults except that the entrance of the disease is different.
