  • Title: Role of intrathecal tetanus antitoxin (equine) in tetanus neonatorum.
    Author: Singh G, Goyal BB, Singh DP.
    Journal: J Indian Med Assoc; 1989 Jan; 87(1):8-10. PubMed ID: 2754273.
    Abstract:
    The present study includes 50 cases of tetanus neonatorum who were given 200 IU of tetanus antitoxin (equine) intrathecally once only and 500 IU intravenously daily for 3 consecutive days. Nutrition was provided with intravenous drip containing dextrose and other electrolytes. The overall mortality was 78%. It appears that the course of the disease remains unaltered with intrathecal tetanus antitoxin in tetanus neonatorum.
