Professional Med J Jan ;3(1):6-12.

Tetanus is a serious problem, which follows injuries, accidents, surgery, injections and sometimes no obvious cause. In civilized communities it has been almost eradicated with adequate immunization. Illiteracy, poverty and lack of awareness are the main reasons for higher incidence of tetanus in third world countries. Proper immunization of the whole population, adequate management of injuries and by adopting the hygenic measures we can get rid of this highly fatal but preventable disease.
