Tetanus is caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, which is commonly found in soil, dust, and animal feces. When the bacteria enter the body through wounds or cuts, they can produce the toxin that affects the nervous system, leading to muscle stiffness and spasms. The disease is preventable through vaccination, which is part of routine immunization schedules.

Tetanus is a disease that affects the muscles and the respiratory system. The difference between tetanus and TIG or tetanus immunoglobulin is that the latter is a form of preventative vaccine for tetanus.

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.
