Tetanus after a resection for a gangrenous perforated small intestine: report of a case.

Abstract:

:We report herein the case of a 75-year-old man who developed severe tetanus 24 h after the resection of a gangrenous perforated small intestine. It seemed that the tetanus was caused by a spillage of the intestinal contents harboring Clostridium tetani; however, this was not identified by a culture. The diagnosis of tetanus was made only when opisthotonus in this patient became evident and normal tetanus treatment proved to be successful.
