| Abstrakt: |
A case of tetanus with uncommon way of contamination was found in the paediatric department of the Yopougon teaching hospital in Côte d'Ivoire. A two-year-old child, without vaccination against tetanus and suffering from a chronic otitis presented a generalized tetanus, after the use of traditional local remedies in his ear. Through this observation, the authors want to make population aware of the detrimental effects of traditional local auricular remedies and want to advise all physicians to make a serotherapy and/or a vaccination against tetanus to all children with chronic otitis in our area. |
