ABSTRACT
Federico Puga Borne presented the first two cases of known Chilean tetanus neonatorum in 1891. These cases had a fatal course, were poorly described and had no necropsy. The presentation was done in a regular session of the Sociéte Scientifique du Chili, founded in 1891 by a French citizen settled in the country, and published in the Actes de la Sociéte Scientifique du Chili. At this time, tetanus had never been seen in a newborn in Chile, while it was very common in other South American countries; its popular name was alferecía, but this term covered many other neurological disorders.
RESUMEN
Se reproducen in extenso los dos casos de tétanos neonatal presentados como los primeros descritos en Chile por Federico Puga Borne en una reunión de la Societé Scientifique du Chili, sociedad fundada en 1891 por ciudadanos franceses, cuyo órgano de expresión Actes de la Société Scientifique du Chili apareció hasta 1938. Aimbos casos fueron fatales, no tuvieron autopsia y están pobremente descritos. En la reunión se comenta la rareza de esta patología en Chile, a diferencia de su alta incidencia en los países vecinos, y se menciona que el pueblo la conocía con el nombre de alferecía, que parecía reunir diversas afecciones neurológicas.
