Neonatal Tetanus in Gabon: About 2 Cases

2018 
Background: Poor information about neonatal tetanus cases are assembled in Gabon. Aim: To recall practitioner about the existing danger of neonatal tetanus despite efforts made by immunization in the country and worldwide. Observations: We write about two observations in two teaching hospitals at the same period. One treated, and the other lethal. We assess their cases with the commonly used scale in Africa: Dakar Classification. Conclusion: Despite the worldwide actions against neonatal tetanus, cases appear, and we must screen the mothers with exposure factors.
