| Popis: | Active or passive immunisation with vaccines or sera can cause lesions of immunomediated pathogenesis involving both the central (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Although very rare, the neurological complications described during antitetanus vaccinations almost exclusively affect the PNS, those affecting the CNS being even more rare. The authors report a case of transverse myelitis with a radicular component, which arose acutely following the administration of tetanus toxoid and had a partially favourable course. |
