  • Tetanus (from [Ancient Greek] *[τέτανος] *‘tension’, ‘stretched’, ‘rigid’), also known as lockjaw, is a [bacterial infection] caused by [Clostridium tetani] and characterized by [muscle spasms]. In the most common type, the spasms begin in the jaw and then progress to the rest of the body. Each spasm usually lasts for a few minutes. Spasms occur frequently for three to four weeks. Some spasms may be severe enough to [fracture bones].” -Wikipedia
