- Title
The challenges of eliminating neonatal tetanus.
- Authors
Katz, J.
- Abstract
The article discusses challenges of eliminating neonatal tetanus. It states that neonatal tetanus is a cause of neonatal death that has well defined risk factors and specific interventions that could be very effective in eliminating this cause of neonatal mortality. As in prior studies conducted in rural areas, maternal illiteracy, home delivery and applications to the cord independently put infants at greater risk for neonatal tetanus among those who have not been protected by maternal immunizations.
