Tetanus is an acute , often fatal disease caused by an   exotoxin   produced by the bacterium  C lostridium tetani.  But prevented by immunization with tetanus   toxoid . It is characterized by generalized rigidity and  convulsive spasms of skeletal muscles . The muscle stiffness usually involves the jaw (lockjaw)and neck and then becomes generalized.

How tetanospasmin reaches the CNS . ,[object Object],[email_address]
Speed of toxin transport: The toxin travels via intra axonal  transport at a rate of 75 -250 mm/day . A process which takes 2 -14 days to reach the CNS. [email_address]
The typical clinical manifestations of tetanus are caused when tetanus toxin interferes with release of neurotrans-mitters  blocking inhibitory impulses. This leads to unopposed muscle contra-ction and spasm. Seizures may occur, and the autonomic nervous system may also be affected. Pathogenesis (con )  [email_address]

Clinical Features  [email_address]
Incubation period : I P. ranges from  3 to 21 days , usually about 8 days. In general : *The further the injury site is from the CNS, the longer the I P.  *The shorter the I P, the higher the chance of  death.  * In neonatal tetanus, symptoms usually appear from  4 to 14 days  after birth, averaging about 7 days.  [email_address]
Types of tetanus : (On the basis of clinical findings, three different forms of tetanus have been described) .  1)  Local tetanus   is an uncommon form of the disease,in which patients have persistent contraction of muscles in the same anatomic area of the injury. Local tetanus may precede the onset of generalized tetanus but is generally milder .Only about 1%of cases are fatal. Source : CDC. [email_address]
Types of tetanus(con) 2)Cephalic tetanus   is a rare form of the disease, occasionally occurring with otitis media(ear infections)in which  C. tetani   is present in the flora of the middle ear , or following injuries to the head . There is involvement of the cranial nerves, especially in the facial area.  [email_address]
3)  generalized tetanus   It   is  The most common type (about 80%)of reported tetanus .The disease usually presents with a descending pattern. Neonatal tetanus is a form of generalized tetanus Types of tetanus(contu) [email_address]

Diagnostic tests for tetanus: Spatula Test  : Apet and Kamad discribe a simple bedside test to diagnose tetanus  : the posterior pharyngeal wall is touched with a spatula and a reflex spasm of the masseters indicates a +ve.test. This test shows 94 % sensitivity . and 100 % specificity. The altered whistle  : This explained as an early effect of  tone in facial muscles which causes the classic R . sardonicus [email_address]
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],scale for the severity and the prognosis of tetanus:  Score   : [email_address]
Total score  indicates the severity and the prognosis as follows: [email_address] Score Severity Prognosis (mortality rate) 0 -1 mild <  10  % 2 -3 moderate 10 : 20  % 4 severe 20 :  40  % 5 : 6 very severe >  50  %
Grading of tetanus severity( OXFORD  ) Ablett Classification Grade I (mild):  *  mild to moderate trismus;  * general spasticity;  * no respiratory problems;  * no spasms;  * little or no dysphagia . [email_address]
Ablett Classification Grade II (moderate): * moderate trismus;  * well-marked rigidity; *mild to moderate but short-lasting spasms;  * moderate respiratory failure with tachypnoea  30-35/min;  * mild dysphagia. [email_address]
Grade III (severe): * severe trismus; *generalized spasticity;  *reflex and often spontaneous prolonged spasms; *respiratory failure with : tachypnoea >40/min;  apnoeic spells; *severe dysphagia;  * tachycardia >120/min. Ablett Classification [email_address]
Grade IV (very severe):  features of grade III + violent autonomic disturbances involving the CVS. These include:  episodes of severe hypertension and tachycardia  alternating with relative hypotension and bradycardia;  severe persistent hypertension(diastolic >110 mmHg);  severe persistent hypotension (systolic <90) Ablett Classification [email_address]
Imbaba Fever hospital Cairo Egypt Grading: We adopted a modification of  Ablett  classification  which we consider to be more useful in the prognosis and management : [email_address]
Grade 1 ( mild ) Muscle rigidity  affecting one or more group of muscles sparing the muscles of deglutition. Grade 2 (moderate ) Muscle rigidity affecting muscles of deglutition. [email_address]
Grade 3a (severe ): muscle rigidity and reflex  spasms. Grade 3b ( very sever ): Grade 3a  + autonomic nervous system changes. [email_address]

How to treat : 1:  Admit patients with  Grade III (severe): to the ( ICU ). For risk of reflex spasms   .  2: maintain a  dark and quiet room  for the patient.  3: Avoid unnecessary procedures . 4: Seriously consider  prophylactic intubation  with  succinylcholine  in all patients with moderate-to-severe clinical manifestations. Intubation and ventilation are required in 67% of patients .  [email_address]
How to treat : ,[object Object],[object Object],[email_address]
Marx: Rosen's Emergency Medicine, 7th ed.2009 *Dosage recommendations vary (500–10,000 units of TIG), but multiple injections are stimuli for spasm and most authorities note that 500 units is as effective as higher doses. * Adult and pediatric doses are the same. If the larger doses are used, they should be given in divided doses.  *Protective antibody levels are achieved 48 to 72 hours after administration of TIG. * Because the half-life of TIG is 25 days,  repeated doses are not needed.  [email_address]
Recovered individuals : do not necessarily develop “natural Immunity”  against the infection--- because of  extreme potency  of the toxin  and  very small amount  produced during the infection, It does not elicit a strong , protective immune response which would produce enough antibodies against future re-infection. How to treat : [email_address]
SO  Active immunization with tetanus toxoid  should begin or continue as soon as the person’s condition has stabilized.  How to treat : [email_address]
Drugs: 1)  Penicillin G: Adult 10-24 million U/d.  ( IV/IM/6h. )  Pediatric 100,000-250,000 U/kg/d.  (IV/IM/6h. ) ( 10- to 14-d course of treatment is  recommended.) [email_address]
2)  Metronidazole : *considered as a drug of choice by many. * has a better safety profile, better tissue penetrability and negligible CNS excitability. (penicillin can cause seizures at high doses). It can also be given rectally Adult 500 mg orally/6h or 1 g IV /12h;  not to exceed 4 g/d Pediatric 15-30 mg/kg/d IV divided /8-12h; not to exceed 2 g/d ( 10- to 14-d course of treatment is recommended.) Drugs: [email_address]
3) Doxycycline  : Used when there is contraindication to penicillin or metronidazol. Adult 100 mg orally/IV /12h Pediatric <8 years: Not recommended <45 kg : 4.4 mg/kg/d) PO/IV divided bid  > 45 kg: Administer as in adults Drugs: [email_address]
Anticonvulsants: Sedative-hypnotic agents are the mainstays of tetanus treatment. 1)  Diazepam (Valium): Depresses all levels of CNS, including limbic and reticular formation, possibly by increasing activity of GABA( γ- Amino-butyric acid ), a major inhibitory neurotransmitter. Adult Mild spasms: 5-10 mg PO /4-6h  Moderate spasms: 5-10 mg IV(diluted in 8 ml glucose 5% or  saline )  Severe spasms: Mix 50-100 mg in 500 mL D5W and infuse at 40 mg/h Pediatric Mild spasms: 0.1-0.8 mg/kg/d PO divided tid/qid Moderate or severe spasms: 0.1-0.3 mg/kg IV q4-8h Drugs: [email_address]
2)  Phenobarbital: used to * prolong effects of diazepam. * treat severe muscle spasms.  Adult 1 mg/kg IM q4-6h;  not to exceed 400 mg/d Pediatric 5 mg/kg/d IV/IM divided tid/qid [email_address]
Skeletal muscle relaxants These agents can inhibit both monosynaptic and polysynaptic reflexes at spinal level, possibly by hyperpolarization of afferent terminals. *  Baclofen (Lioresal)  a physiological GABA agonist Adult <55 years: 1000 mcg IT(intrathecal) >55 years: 800 mcg IT Pediatric <16 years: 500 mcg IT >16 years: Administer as in adults [email_address]
Consultations After admission to the ICU Consult :  1:An  intensive care medicine specialist  should be the primary physician coordinating the patient's care. 2: A  pulmonary medicine specialist  for patients with severe respiratory symptoms or those requiring mechanical ventilation. 3: An  anesthesiologist  after if intrathecal baclofen is to be administered.

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],TETANUS TOXOID [email_address]
Tetanus Toxoid Adsorbed USP,for intramuscular use,is a sterile suspension of alum-precipitated (aluminum potassium sulfate)toxoid in an isotonic sodium chloride solution containing sodium phosphate buffer to control pH.The vaccine,after shaking,is a  turbid liquid,whitish-gray in color. Clostridium tetani  culture is grown in a peptone-based medium and detoxified with formaldehyde.The detoxified material is then purified by serial ammonium sulfate fractionation,followed by sterile filtration,and the toxoid is adsorbed to aluminum potassium sulfate (alum).The adsorbed toxoid is diluted with physiological saline solution (0.85%)and thimerosal (a mercury derivative)is added to a final concentration of 1:10,000. Each 0.5 mL dose is formulated to contain 5 Lf (flocculation units)of tetanus toxoid and not more than 0.25 mg of aluminum. The residual formaldehyde content,by assay,is less than 0.02%.The tetanus toxoid induces at least 2 units of antitoxin per mL in the guinea pig potency test. [email_address]

  • 3. Tetanus is an acute , often fatal disease caused by an exotoxin produced by the bacterium C lostridium tetani. But prevented by immunization with tetanus toxoid . It is characterized by generalized rigidity and convulsive spasms of skeletal muscles . The muscle stiffness usually involves the jaw (lockjaw)and neck and then becomes generalized.

  • 19. Speed of toxin transport: The toxin travels via intra axonal transport at a rate of 75 -250 mm/day . A process which takes 2 -14 days to reach the CNS. [email_address]
  • 20. The typical clinical manifestations of tetanus are caused when tetanus toxin interferes with release of neurotrans-mitters blocking inhibitory impulses. This leads to unopposed muscle contra-ction and spasm. Seizures may occur, and the autonomic nervous system may also be affected. Pathogenesis (con ) [email_address]

  • 29. Types of tetanus : (On the basis of clinical findings, three different forms of tetanus have been described) . 1) Local tetanus is an uncommon form of the disease,in which patients have persistent contraction of muscles in the same anatomic area of the injury. Local tetanus may precede the onset of generalized tetanus but is generally milder .Only about 1%of cases are fatal. Source : CDC. [email_address]
  • 30. Types of tetanus(con) 2)Cephalic tetanus is a rare form of the disease, occasionally occurring with otitis media(ear infections)in which C. tetani is present in the flora of the middle ear , or following injuries to the head . There is involvement of the cranial nerves, especially in the facial area. [email_address]

  • 61. Marx: Rosen's Emergency Medicine, 7th ed.2009 *Dosage recommendations vary (500–10,000 units of TIG), but multiple injections are stimuli for spasm and most authorities note that 500 units is as effective as higher doses. * Adult and pediatric doses are the same. If the larger doses are used, they should be given in divided doses. *Protective antibody levels are achieved 48 to 72 hours after administration of TIG. * Because the half-life of TIG is 25 days, repeated doses are not needed.

  • 62. Recovered individuals : do not necessarily develop “natural Immunity” against the infection--- because of extreme potency of the toxin and very small amount produced during the infection, It does not elicit a strong , protective immune response which would produce enough antibodies against future re-infection.

  • 67. Anticonvulsants: Sedative-hypnotic agents are the mainstays of tetanus treatment. 1) Diazepam (Valium): Depresses all levels of CNS, including limbic and reticular formation, possibly by increasing activity of GABA( γ- Amino-butyric acid ), a major inhibitory neurotransmitter. Adult Mild spasms: 5-10 mg PO /4-6h Moderate spasms: 5-10 mg IV(diluted in 8 ml glucose 5% or saline ) Severe spasms: Mix 50-100 mg in 500 mL D5W and infuse at 40 mg/h Pediatric Mild spasms: 0.1-0.8 mg/kg/d PO divided tid/qid Moderate or severe spasms: 0.1-0.3 mg/kg IV q4-8h Drugs: [email_address]

Tetanus Toxoid Adsorbed USP,for intramuscular use,is a sterile suspension of alum-precipitated (aluminum potassium sulfate)toxoid in an isotonic sodium chloride solution containing sodium phosphate buffer to control pH.The vaccine,after shaking,is a turbid liquid,whitish-gray in color. Clostridium tetani culture is grown in a peptone-based medium and detoxified with formaldehyde.The detoxified material is then purified by serial ammonium sulfate fractionation,followed by sterile filtration,and the toxoid is adsorbed to aluminum potassium sulfate (alum).The adsorbed toxoid is diluted with physiological saline solution (0.85%)and thimerosal (a mercury derivative)is added to a final concentration of 1:10,000. Each 0.5 mL dose is formulated to contain 5 Lf (flocculation units)of tetanus toxoid and not more than 0.25 mg of aluminum. The residual formaldehyde content,by assay,is less than 0.02%.The tetanus toxoid induces at least 2 units of antitoxin per mL in the guinea pig potency test. [email_address]
