Tetanus

Bacterial infection characterized by muscle spasms

Tetanus (from Ancient Greek τέτανος 'tension', 'stretched', 'rigid'), also known as lockjaw, is a bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani and characterized by muscle spasms. In the most common type, the spasms begin in the jaw and then progress to the rest of the body. Each spasm usually lasts for a few minutes.
