Only in the recovery period of wasting, or general muscle stiffness and inconvenience, generally need 2 to 3 months after the gradual recovery.  However, the morbidity and mortality rate is higher in neonates, elderly patients and heavy tetanus patients, about 10% to 40%, with an average of about 20%. The morbidity and mortality rate is closely related to the site of the injury and whether the treatment is timely and appropriate, the incubation period and the length of the initial spasm period, as well as the experience of the doctor.
