| | For practical purposes tetanus should be considered a disease against which there is no naturally acquired immunity and one that is entirely preventable with appropriate immunization and wound care. | | | Patients with tetanus are hospitalized in an intensive care unit until it is clear that progression of disease has stabilized at a level that does not interfere with vital functions and therapy can be managed outside the unit. | | | Most of the time the muscles of the jaw, face, and neck are affected first and then progressively more distant muscles such as the arms and legs. |
