Tetanus is a disease that chiefly afflicts the developing countries of the world - India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, parts of South-East Asia, Africa and South America. Severe tetanus has a forbidding mortality. This important and timely volume on tetanus discusses all aspects of the disease in detail, including prevailing concepts on physiopathology and immunology, and current work on the epidemiology of the disease. The book also includes the author's original contributions on the haemodynamics of severe tetanus and on pulmonary functions in this disease. The management of tetanus has been discussed at length and it has been shown how the mortality of severe tetanus can be drastically reduced to about 20 per cent by a management protocol applicable in and affordable by developing countries. Under excellent intensive care conditions, the mortality of severe tetanus could be reduced even further to 6.25 per cent. This comprehensive and well-organized book should be extremely useful to all house physicians, registrars, general practitioners, post-graduates and consultant physicians in developing countries. It will be particularly indispensable for those treating tetanus, and for those who have specialized in Critical Care Medicine. It should also be of interest to doctors in developed countries, particularly those engaged in the management of acute infections, and to those working in Intensive Care Units.

The mechanization of medicine has submerged, its humanism. The physician no longer ministers to a distinctive person but concern himself with a particular malfunctioning organ. The distressed patient is frequently forgotten or relegated to the background. A thought process is essential for discussing and understanding a symptom. This book, for the first time brings the doctor to the bedside of the patient for history, clinical examination, investigation, and finally the diagnosis.  This book discusses the art of medicine in a simple dialogue style- between the patient and the doctor- and shows through bedside teaching, the treatment of an illness or a disease, rather than the patient. This illustrated volume containing twenty case studies sensitizes the reader to look a patient holistically, not just the body, but mind and emotions too. This unique volume teaches medicinal science as an art of healing, where modern medicine is not just restricted to science and technology.
