ABSTRACT
Tetanus kills approximately 500 000 people worldwide each year. Widespread immunization has ensured that it is rarely encountered in the United Kingdom. An increase in global travel may increase the likelihood of such encounters in the developed world in the future. In the non-immunized patient, death from tetanus can be avoided by early recognition and timely intervention. The potential need for airway support and sedation should not be underestimated. The authors' case report should increase the awareness of the otolaryngologist when confronted with atypical cases of dysphagia and trismus and provides details of the recommended treatment regime.
