Pseudotetanus is a syndrome which is produced by a variety of non-Clostridial factors. It is usually not difficult to distinguish from tetanus but is must always be considered in the differential diagnosis. Six cases are reported in which tetanus was considered and in one of them the full treatment for the disease was started. It is hoped that by increasing the awareness of clinicians of this relatively common problem the risk of making an incorrect disagnosis will be reduced.
假性破伤风是一种由多种非梭菌因素引起的综合征。通常不难与破伤风区分开来，但在鉴别诊断中必须始终予以考虑。本文报告了6例曾被怀疑为破伤风的病例，其中1例开始了针对该病的全面治疗。希望通过提高临床医生对这个相对常见问题的认识，降低误诊的风险。
