 Tetanus is a severe infectious disease because some patients die with tonic convulsion. Recently, in spite of a wide use of vaccination, there is an outbreak of about 100 tetanus patients per year in Japan. Because the initial symptoms, which include trismus and inability of swallowing, are occurred in oral area, tetanus patients often consult with otorhinolaryngologists. For avoiding the death, the early diagnosis and the appropriate therapy are important. We report a case of a tetanus patient whose symptoms progressed rapidly. We recognized the importance of tetanus for the differential diagnosis of trismus and inability of swallowing.
