Cases of tetanus Neonatum in children up to 5 years

The data shows the cases of tetanus Neonatorum in children up to 0-5 Years of age. Note: Tetanus neonatorum, otherwise known as Neonatal tetanus, is a generalised tetanus infection of the new-born. It usually gets transmitted from an unvaccinated mother and enters the body through infection of the unhealed umbilical stump. This typically happens when the umbilical cord is cut using unsterile instruments.
