original passage: Local tetanus is an uncommon form of the disease, in which people have persistent contraction of muscles in the same anatomic area as the injury. The contractions may persist for many weeks before gradually subsiding. Local tetanus is generally milder; only about 1% of cases are fatal, but it may precede the onset of generalized tetanus.
original sentence: Local tetanus is an uncommon form of the disease, in which people have persistent contraction of muscles in the same anatomic area as the injury.
sentence2: Again, given that many lurid historical accounts of tetanus suggest that it was generally an affliction of the entire body, could you conclude from this passage that better hygiene and understanding of germ theory has contributed to it now being much more likely to be a less-serious, more-localized infection in most cases?
sentence1: Local tetanus is a rare form of the disease and it causes persistent contractions of muscles in the same area of the sufferer's body as where the original injury was made. The contractions may persist for many weeks before gradually subsiding. Local tetanus is generally milder; only about 1% of cases are fatal, but it may precede the onset of generalized tetanus.
