•    Neonatal tetanus is a form of generalized tetanus that occurs in newborns.
•    Infants who have not acquired passive immunity from the mother having been immunized are at risk.
•    It usually occurs through infection of the unhealed umbilical stump, particularly when the stump is cut with a non-sterile instrument.
•    The disease mostly occurs in developing countries, particularly those with the least developed health infrastructure. It is rare in developed countries.
