INTRODUCTION

TETANUS
Comes from the Greek word “tetanus” meaning taut and “teiteim” which
means to stretch. It is also called lockjaw. It is a serious infectious disease of
the nervous system in which toxin causes severe muscle spasm. It is a medical
condition characterized by a prolonged contraction of skeletal muscle fibers.

Nervous System
• The Brain – Processes incoming information from within the body, and
outside the body by way of the sensory nerves of sight, touch, smell, sound, and
taste. Commands are then sent back throughout the body. The brain also stores
and processes language, communication, emotions, thoughts, dreams, and
memories. In other words, the brain is where all thinking and decision-making
takes place.
• The Spinal Cord – Is the main pathway for information connecting the brain
and peripheral nervous system. It extends from the brain about 18 inches down
4
the bony spinal column, which serves as its protection. The spinal cord is a tube
made up of nerve fibers. Electrical impulses travel through the nerves and allow
the brain to communicate with the rest of the body.
The Peripheral Nervous System is responsible for the remainder of the body. It
includes cranial nerves (nerves emerging from the brain), spinal nerves (nerves
emerging from the spinal cord) and all the major sense organs. The PNS includes:
NEUROMUSCULAR SYSTEM
The combination of the nervous system and the muscles, working together to
permit movement, is known as the neuromuscular system. Neuromuscular
disorders include motor neuron diseases, neuropathies and muscular dystrophies.

output connections with other neurons. The interactions of all these types of
neurons form neural circuits that generate an organism's perception of the world
and determine its behavior. Along with neurons, the nervous system contains other
specialized cells called glial cells (or simply glia), which provide structural and
metabolic support.
A typical muscle is serviced by anywhere between 50 and 200 (or more) lower
motor neurons. Each lower motor neuron is subdivided into many tiny branches.
The tip of each branch is called a presynaptic terminal. This connection between the
tip of the nerve and the muscle is also called the neuromuscular junction.
The electrical signal from the brain travels down the nerves and prompts the
release of the chemical acetylcholine from the presynaptic terminals. This chemical
is picked up by special sensors (receptors) in the muscle tissue. If enough receptors
are stimulated by acetylcholine, your muscles will contract.

TPSA(mini-VIDAS)
VIDAS TPSA is intended for use with a VIDAS (VITEK ImmunoDiagnostic Assay System) instrument as
an automated enzyme-linked fluorescent immunoassay (ELFA) for the quantitative measurement of
total prostate specific antigen in human serum. The VIDAS TPSA assay is indicated as an aid in the
management of patients with prostate cancer and as an aid in the detection of prostate cancer in
conjunction with digital rectal examination (DRE) in men age 50 years or older. Prostate biopsy is
required for diagnosis of prostate cancer.

TEXTBOOK DISCUSSION
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
TETANUS
Tetanus occurs after spores or vegetative bacteria gain access to tissues and
produce toxin locally. The usual mode of entry is trough a puncture wound or
laceration. Tetanus may also follow elective surgery, burn wounds, otitis media,
dental infection, abortion and pregnancy. Neonatal tetanus usually follows infection
of the umbilical stump.
The toxin acts after the incubation period (3-14) days) at several sites within
the central nervous system, including peripheral motor end plates, spinal cord,
brain and sympathetic nervous system. The typical clinical manifestations of
tetanus are caused when tetanus toxin interferes with release of neurotrasmitters,
blocking inhibitor impulses.
34
Blockade of spinal inhibition is produced when the toxin acts at the synapse
of interneurons of inhibitory pathways and motor neurons. General muscle rigidity
arises from uninhibited afferent stimuli entering the central nervous system from
the periphery. The effect of the toxin on the brain is controversial; direct inoculation
can cause seizures.
Tetanus Symptoms
In generalized tetanus, the initial complaints may include any of the
following:

Complications of Tetanus
Fractures
The repeated muscle spasms and convulsions that are caused by a tetanus
infection may lead to fractures in the vertebrae (bones in the back), as well
as in other bones. Bone fractures can sometimes result in a condition called
myositis ossificans circumscripta, which is where bone begins to form in the
soft tissues, often around a joint.
36
Aspiration pneumonia
If you have a tetanus infection, muscle rigidity (stiffness) can make coughing
and swallowing difficult. This can cause aspiration pneumonia to develop.
Aspiration pneumonia occurs as a result of inhaling the secretions, or
contents, of the stomach, which can lead to a lower respiratory tract
infection.
Laryngospasm
Tetanic seizures are convulsions (fits) that are similar to epileptic fits. They
can occur in severe cases of tetanus where the infection has spread to the
brain. Someone with a severe tetanus infection may experience severe and
frequent tetanic seizures.
Pulmonary embolism
The severe muscle spasms that are associated with a tetanus infection can
cause a condition that is known as rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis is where
the skeletal muscles are rapidly destroyed, resulting in myoglobin (a muscle
protein) leaking into the urine. This can lead to acute (severe) renal failure
(kidney failure).
