Tetanus in a patient with frostbite: a case report.
Tetanus occurs in all ages, it can be associated with puncture wounds, war injuries, burns, ear infections, umbilical stump and post partum infections, and heroin abuse.5 Recently, we treated a patient who developed tetanus following frostbite of both feet. The patient had been previously immunized against tetanus, and was receiving antibiotics when the disease became manifest.
