Tetanus is a rare disease caused by the exotoxins of Clostridium tetani. Higher mortality rates have been reported among the elderly and in the newborn. In this report of a tetanus case, the treatment and prognosis of contractions resistant to diazepam, midazolam, and atracurium infusion has been evaluated.
