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

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: review of progress
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1995AbstractThe target set for elimination of neonatal tetanus (NT) is less than one case par 1000 live births in every district of the world. NT will then be considered to have been removed as a major public health problem and fewer than 150 000 cases are expected to occur annually worldwide if the achievements are maintained.

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 ...
