Retrospective studies are described on a series of 82 patients with tetanus, 44 of whom were treated by tracheostomy, curarisation, and intermittent positive-pressure ventilation. Patients with severe tetanus may develop a characteristic syndrome whose features include sustained but labile hypertension and tachycardia, irregularities of cardiac rhythm, peripheral vascular constriction, profuse sweating, pyrexia, increased carbon-dioxide output, increased urinary catecholamine excretion, and, in some cases, the late development of hypotension. It is argued that this syndrome may be due to continuous but fluctuating overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system.
