Definition von tetanus im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
A state of muscle tension caused by sustained contraction arising from a rapid series of nerve impulses which do not allow the muscle to relax
A serious and often fatal disease caused by the infection of an open wound with the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium tetani, found in soil and the intestines and faeces of animals
a sustained muscular contraction resulting from a rapid series of nerve impulses an acute and serious infection of the central nervous system caused by bacterial infection of open wounds; spasms of the jaw and laryngeal muscles may occur during the late stages
a sustained muscular contraction resulting from a rapid series of nerve impulses
A serious disease affecting the nervous system Tetanus (lockjaw) results when a wound is infected with a type of bacteria that thrives without oxygen (particularly in deep wounds)
An often fatal disease caused by the anaerobic, spore-forming bacillus Clostridium tetani, and characterized by muscle spasms and convulsions (See 924)
An acute, often fatal infectious disease caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani When the bacterium establishes an infection within the body, usually at the site of a contaminated wound, it produces a potent toxin, which spreads to the nervous system and causes severe muscle rigidity and painful spasms A highly effective, protective vaccine is available
When the muscles of the lower jaw are affected, it is called locked-jaw, or lickjaw, and it takes various names from the various incurvations of the body resulting from the spasm
an acute and serious infection of the central nervous system caused by bacterial infection of open wounds; spasms of the jaw and laryngeal muscles may occur during the late stages
Tetanus is a potentially life-threatening disease Infection occurs through wounds Incidence of tetanus is approximately 50 cases per year for the past 10 years; less than 10 of these cases are under 30 years old, and these cases are rarely fatal A series of tetanus toxoid injections does provide protection from tetanus for at least 10 years Tetanus immune globulin protects unvaccinated individuals if they receive an injection soon after injury Immediate vaccine reactions are usually mild, though many severe reactions have been reported, some of them causing permanent disability and a few fatalities Long-term adverse effects are unknown
Serious bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani, which enters the body through puncture wounds Also called lockjaw
A serious and often fatal disease arising through infection of an open wound by the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium tetani that is found in soil and the intestines and faeces of animals. The bacteria produce an exotoxin which causes spasmodic contraction of voluntary muscles, especially those of the neck and jaw
Serious bacterial infection caused by Clostridium Tetani, which enters the body through puncture wounds (a k a Lockjaw)
An infectious disease, often fatal, marked by painful muscles spasms, especially those of the lower jaw and neck
That condition of a muscle in which it is in a state of continued vibratory contraction, as when stimulated by a series of induction shocks
a disease caused by the bacteria Clostridium tetani that produces painful, rigid muscle contractions, especially in the neck and jaw Immunization against tetanus can prevent the disease
An infectious, often-fatal disease characterised by respiratory paralysis and tonic spasms and rigidity of the voluntary muscles, especially those of the neck and lower jaw The bacterium enters the body through wounds
a life-threatening disease caused by toxins produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, which often grow at the site of a cut or wound Muscles first become stiff, then rigidly fixed (lockjaw) Vaccination against tetanus should be done every 10 years or at the time of injury
Tetanus is a serious painful disease caused by bacteria getting into wounds. It makes your muscles, especially your jaw muscles, go stiff. a serious illness caused by bacteria that enter your body through cuts and wounds and make your muscles, especially your jaw, go stiff = lockjaw (tetanos, from tetanos ). or lockjaw Acute bacterial disease caused by Clostridium tetani (see clostridium). Spores of this organism are common, especially in soil; it thrives away from oxygen in deep wounds, especially punctures. Its toxin stimulates nerves, causing muscle rigidity with frequent spasms. This may occur around the site of the wound or, if the toxin reaches spinal motor ganglia via the bloodstream, throughout the body. The jaw muscles are almost always involved (lockjaw). Vaccination every few years is the best protection; an antitoxin prevents or delays symptoms in cases of suspect wounds but has limited value once they develop. Treatment usually includes antibiotics, sedatives, and muscle relaxants. Recovered patients are not immune
A painful and usually fatal disease, resulting generally from a wound, and having as its principal symptom persistent spasm of the voluntary muscles
An infectious, often-fatal disease caused by a specific bacterium that enters the body through wounds
sterile solution of globulins derived from the blood plasma of a person who has been immunized for tetanus; provides short-term immunization against tetanus in cases of possible exposure to the tetanus bacillis
