Tetanus is a specific infection caused by toxins produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani in the human body. If treated systematically and without severe complications, the vast majority of tetanus patients can be cured.

Whenever there is a wound, it should be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide or saline and the patient should go to the hospital as soon as possible for a tetanus vaccine injection.

If tetanus occurs, it is imperative to seek timely treatment at a hospital. Most tetanus patients exhibit muscle tension and rigidity, such as risus sardonicus, difficulty opening the mouth, neck stiffness, and opisthotonus. In severe cases, respiratory arrest or difficulty breathing may occur.

Therefore, tetanus patients, as long as they go to the hospital for early treatment, the vast majority can be cured.
