- W4313462919 abstract "Background and objective Tetanus is a rare but potentially fatal disease in developed countries, including Japan. It is very difficult to diagnose this condition early because of its broad symptomatology and the lack of familiarity with tetanus among both physicians and patients. In this study, we aimed to describe the clinical manifestations of tetanus and to examine as to which departments/branches of medicine patients consult in order to provide helpful information for diagnosing this challenging condition. Materials and methods This was a descriptive, retrospective study conducted at a single tertiary hospital from January 2011 to December 2021. Patients with generalized tetanus, cephalic tetanus, and local tetanus presenting to our emergency department were included in the study. We examined the clinical manifestations and departments that patients with tetanus visited first. Additionally, the initial diagnosis and diagnostic evaluation before the diagnosis were examined. Results Of the total 10 patients included in the study, nine had generalized tetanus and one had cephalic tetanus; the common initial manifestations were neck stiffness (30%), dysarthria (20%), and trismus (20%). Of note, 80% of patients also complained of dysphagia before the diagnosis. Patients first visited various departments, including a dental clinic (30%) and the department of otorhinolaryngology (20%). Only two patients were accurately diagnosed with tetanus at the first department they visited. Physicians performed head imaging for all the patients. Conclusions Based on our findings, in Japan, patients with tetanus present with symptoms that physicians interpret or suspect to be associated with disorders of the central nervous system. Meanwhile, patients themselves tend to consider the symptoms as indicative of oral or dental issues. Further prospective studies involving a larger number of participants are needed to investigate the clinical course of tetanus until the establishment of a diagnosis." @default.
