108
Q

Pathogenesis Clostridium tetani

A
  1. wound occurs either by nail or barbed wire with tetany spores on it, spores are embedded in the flesh and the organism vegetates and stays at the wound site. It will release tetanus toxin that will cause all the symptoms.
  2. Tetanus toxin will travel retrograde through the motor axons to the spinal cord.
  3. Tetanus toxin will cleave snare and inhibit exocytosis of the neurotransmitter into the synapse (GABA and glycine) or Renshaw cells.
  4. inibitis GABA and Glycine -> Rigidity
