ABSTRACT
This paper gives a report on the management of 29 cases of tetanus admitted to one hospital during a period of twelve months. The incidence of the disease was roughly the same as in previous years. The number of deaths, however, were markedly reduced. The poor prognosis of respiratory complication is confirmed. Three principles of therapy, high doses of A.T.S., heavy sedation and the use of barbiturates and chlorpromazine are stressed (AU)
