Abstract:

The incidence of tetanus is very low in modern nations. In Alberta, we describe the first tetanus case since 2016. The farmer experienced fevers, shoulder pain, and trismus eight days after orthopedic surgery. Recovery from tetanus immunoglobulin was quick. We draw attention to pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors, and diagnostic difficulties.

Keywords:Immunoglobulin, tetanus, trismus, Clostridium tetani, and risk factors
