Despite the availability of safe and effective vaccines, the urgency of the problem of tetanus incidence is high because a significant part of the population is not immunized against this disease, and severe manifestations of tetanus can be fatal.</p> <p>This paper presents a clinical case of traumatic generalized tetanus in an 11-year-old patient. The absence of routine immunization against tetanus and emergency active–passive immunization contributed to disease development. The disease proceeded in a typical form, with the development of muscle spasms, myoclonia, trism, and convulsions. Specific tetanus serum was administered, pathogenetic therapy with anticonvulsants and muscle relaxants was performed, and the patient had clinical recovery and was discharged from the hospital.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Столбняк — редкое заболевание, вызываемое Clostridium tetani и сопровождающееся поражением центральной нервной системы с развитием мышечного гипертонуса и приступов генерализованных судорог, обусловленных действием токсина возбудителя. Несмотря на наличие безопасных и эффективных вакцин, актуальность проблемы заболеваемости столбняком высока, так как значительная часть населения не иммунизирована против данного заболевания, а его тяжёлые проявления могут иметь летальный исход.</p> <p>Описан клинический случай травматического генерализованного столбняка у 11-летнего пациента. Развитию заболевания способствовало отсутствие плановой иммунизации против столбняка и экстренной активно-пассивной иммунизации. Заболевание протекало в типичной форме с развитием мышечного спазма, миоклоний, тризма, судорог. На фоне лечения специфической противостолбнячной сывороткой, патогенетической терапии противосудорожными препаратами и миорелаксантами наступило клиническое выздоровление, и пациент был выписан из стационара.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>case report</kwd><kwd>generalized tetanus</kwd><kwd>spasms</kwd><kwd>risus sardonicus</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>клинический случай</kwd><kwd>генерализованный столбняк</kwd><kwd>тризм</kwd><kwd>сардоническая улыбка</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Yushchuk ND, Vengerov YuYa, editors.
