  • Title: [The status of maternally acquired tetanus immunity in newborn infants].
    Author: Pietsch M, Schütt KH.
    Journal: Gesundheitswesen; 1993 Jul; 55(7):364-6. PubMed ID: 8369604.
    Abstract:
    In newborn and their mothers a considerable lack of immunity to tetanus was found. Values of corresponding serum pairs differed in part; some children were unprotected in spite of maternal immunity. Pregnant women without protection should therefore be vaccinated twice before delivery. Over and above this, good hygienic standards in obstetrics must be maintained.
