Seventeen neonates were studied. All presented with fever, poor sucking and limb stiffness, with a history of unsterile delivery and uncertain maternal tetanus immunity status. Low-resource settings continue to report high mortality from neonatal tetanus, due to lack of sophisticated management modalities like neuromuscular blockade and invasive ventilation [20-23].The age group of mothers 21-25 of admitted neonates shows high frequency i.e 42.85%. Education of mother of admitted neonates was Primary education i.e 57.14%. 71.42 % (5) mothers not vaccinated.
