Abstract
A case of generalized tetanus after human bite of the finger is reported. The patient recovered with institutional care. We propose that secondary invasion by Clostridium tetani is the cause for infection. It could be prevented by immediate tetanus prophylaxis, thorough debridement, and primary repair of the wound.Entities:
