Tetanus Fulminant

Tetanus fulminans is a rapidly spreading and fatal disease caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani. This disease is known as "stoban" and is one of the most serious infectious diseases causing neurological symptoms. Tetanus can be fatal within hours or days. In this article we will look at the symptoms, causes of tetanus fulminans and ways to combat it.

Clinical symptoms of fulminant tetanus can appear very quickly and lead to disability or death within a few hours. Although the symptoms of this disease may be very different from those described above, they may include uncontrollable muscle spasms, seizures, difficulty breathing, high fever, and a swollen mouth and tongue. A person infected with fulminant tetanus may experience loss of consciousness and develop necrotizing fasciitis, a process where muscles die.
