The four types of tetanus are generalized, localized, cephalic, and neonatal tetanus. Generalized tetanus is the most common form, characterized by muscle stiffness and spasms throughout the body. Localized tetanus affects a specific muscle group, while cephalic tetanus primarily involves cranial nerves, often resulting in facial muscle spasms. Neonatal tetanus affects newborns and is typically caused by infections from unsterile practices during childbirth.
