Tetanus (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lockjaw

(Other definitions for lockjaw that I've seen before include "Popular name for tetanus" , "Symptom of tetanus" , "Form of tetanus in which mouth is tightly closed" , "Form of tetanus with rigidly closed mouth" , "Serious condition" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Telegraph and The Mirror.
