Localized tetanus is a mild form of tetanus, as opposed to systemic tetanus, which is uncommon and is characterized by muscle spasms and muscle tonicity in a defined area near the wound, which can last for several weeks to months before subsiding until recovery. Although the symptoms of localized tetanus are mild and the mortality rate is less than 1%, it can be transformed into systemic tetanus and the corresponding complications due to improper care or progression of the disease. Therefore, treatment should not be taken lightly and should be standardized according to the criteria for systemic tetanus.
