Scottish Medical Journal, 1981
Neonatal tetanus was prevalent in the Scottish Islands in the 18th and 19th centuries. In the island of St Kilda, neonatal mortality reached 690 per 1,000 live births, and was passively accepted by the community. Many speculative ideas concerning its aetiology were propounded until unsanitary conditions were counteracted by simple measures of hygiene ...

Southern Medical Journal, 1991
The morbidity and mortality from neonatal tetanus are preventable. It is largely a disease of developing countries. This single case of neonatal tetanus in southern Florida must serve as an indicator for the need for health care professionals to evaluate the degree of utilization of maternal health services and the impact of immunization programs for ...

Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, 1979
Forty-eight babies were treated for neonatal tetanus and there were ten deaths. Twenty-seven patients were treated with neuromuscular blockade, nasotracheal intubation and intermittent positive pressure ventilation. In this group there were five deaths and three of these were the direct or indirect result of respiratory complications.

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1985
It is estimated from community-based surveys in 1981–1982 in India that between 230,000 and 250,000 children die each year from neonatal tetanus. Hospital data from India reveal that more than 90 per cent of neonatal tetanus cases and deaths occur in the first two weeks of life.

Neonatal Tetanus: A Continuing Challenge
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2012The authors retrospectively analyzed the case records of all the newborns admitted with the diagnosis of neonatal tetanus (NT) over a period of 36 mo. A total of 27 cases of neonatal tetanus were admitted over a period of 36 mo. Out of these 27 neonates, 17 died and thus the overall mortality was 63%.

Serum Therapy in Neonatal Tetanus
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1967NEONATAL TETANUS is a highly lethal disease. A very high fatality rate varying from 71.2% to 91% has been reported by various workers. 1-11 Administration of antitetanic serum (ATS) has been one of the mainstays of treatment. But, the attempts of early workers to reduce the mortality by increasing the dose of ATS 12-18 have not been successful. Indeed,

Septicaemia among Neonates with Tetanus
Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 1992In a study of 149 cases of neonatal tetanus (NNT) admitted into the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, 49 (33 per cent) were also found to have septicaemia. The dominant organisms were coliforms and Staphylococcus aureus. A comparison of the clinical features of the septicaemic and non-septicaemic neonates showed umbilical cord infection to be an

Strategies for the Control of Neonatal Tetanus
Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 1984This paper describes strategies for the control of neonatal tetanus. The natural history of the disease the immunological effects of tetanus toxoid immunization and programmatic opportunities for providing these immunizations are considered. A formula for calculating the cost per prevented neonatal tetanus death is suggested and its use illustrated ...
