title: [Tetanus treated with continuous baclofen intrathecal perfusion].
abstract: After making a bibliographic search in our country and demonstrating the lack of original articles or communications on treatment with intrathecal baclofen for the generalized forms of tetanus, our objective is to present this treatment based on the successful experience of one clinical case. In relationship to the case, we review baclofen pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects and its possible utility in the treatment of tetanus.
