ABSTRACT
Seventy six cases of neonatal tetanus were studied. There was preponderance of males. Short incubation period, short period of onset, low birth weight, presence of fever and tachycardia were associated with a poor prognosis. The cases were divided into 2 groups of 46 and 30. First group was given TIG while second group was given ATS. All other therapies were kept identical. Mortality rate in two groups was 97.5% and 96.5%. Corrected mortality due to tetanus per se was 22.5% and 28.5% (p-0.5). Fifteen cases (32.7%) and 12 cases (40%) in group A & B respectively were born to mothers who had already received one to three doses of tetanus toxoid. The potency of the vaccine should be ensured before it is administered to mothers, through proper maintenance of cold chain. It is concluded that TIG is not superior to ATS in managing moderate and severe grade cases.
