Overview
Tetanus must be differentiated from other diseases that present with fever and rigidity such as strychnine poisoning, dental infections, drug reactions, hypocalcemia, meningitis, stroke, and stiff man syndrome.[1]
Differentiating Tetanus from other Diseases
Tetanus must be differentiated from other diseases that present with fever and rigidity such as::[2][3][4]
Disease | Diagnosis | Treatment | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Symptoms | Signs | Laboratory Findings | ||
Tetanus[5][6] |
|
|
|
|
Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome [7][8] |
|
|
| |
Viral Meningitis[9][10][11] |
|
|
|
|
Stiff man syndrome |
|
|
|
|
Drug induced (Tardive dyskinesia)[12][13][14] |
|
|
|
|
Strychnine poisoning[15][16][17][18] |
|
|
|
|
Hypocalcaemia[19][20] |
|
|
|
|
Dental abscess[21][22] |
|
|
|
|
Parkinson's disease[23][24] |
|
|
|
|
Differential for Unilateral Involuntary Face Movements
Tetanus must also be differentiated from the following diseases that cause abnormal one sided movements of the face:[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]
- Tetanus associated trismus
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction
- Unilateral jaw dystonia
- Isolated facial myokymia
- Isolated hemifacial spasm
- Multiple sclerosis (MS) associated tonic spasms
- Focal motor epilepsy
