Best Answer

The patient comes to you with deadly smile on the face. This smile is called as risus sardonicus. A continuous smile on face should give you clue to the diagnosis. Shortly the patient starts to give classical seizures. The seizures are evoked by light or the sound also. If you are able to keep him alive for three weeks, he will recover. In this disease very minute amount of tetanus toxin is fixed in the nervous system.
