    AbstractOtogenic tetanus is common in a developing country like India. However, adequate sedation and elimination of spasms by medical treatment is sufficient in most cases. Once treated, relapses are rare. The authors report a 2-year-old girl who relapsed twice after near complete recovery. This communiqué is intended to highlight that tetanus is still a significant health problem in third-world countries and a relapse after such a dreadful disease is terrifying.
