Tetanus is an acute potentially fatal disease caused by clostridium tetani which produces a powerful neurotoxin which affects the central nervous system. Wherever the immunization programs are in place the incidence of tetanus declines and the age distribution of case patients shifts to reflect under immunization. So due to lack of proper immunization programs tetanus is still persistent in low socioeconomic strata of society.
