? Opisthotonus Position *"Tetanus"*

?Tetanus is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani.

?The bacteria release a toxin called tetanospasmin, which affects the nervous system and leads to muscle stiffness and spasms.

**⚜️Clinical Features:-

- The opisthotonus position, where the patient's back is arched and the head is thrown back, is a classic sign of tetanus.

- Other symptoms may include muscle stiffness and spasms, particularly in the jaw (lockjaw), neck, and abdomen.

- Patients may also experience difficulty swallowing, fever, sweating, and high blood pressure.

**?Treatment:-

?The treatment of tetanus involves a combination of supportive care and administration of specific medications.

?The patient should be placed in a quiet and dark environment to minimize stimuli that can trigger muscle spasms.

?Wound care is crucial to prevent further bacterial growth, and antibiotics may be prescribed to eliminate the bacteria.

?Tetanus immunoglobulin is administered to neutralize the toxin, and tetanus toxoid vaccine is given to boost immunity.

?Muscle relaxants and sedatives may be used to
control muscle spasms.
