Abstract
Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus (MNT) has become a rare disease in Ghana following the intensive immunization campaigns over the last few decades. The country was certified as MNT-free by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2013.We report on 2 cases ofNeonatal Tetanus (NT) seen in the Northern Region of Ghana. Although the mothers of both patients attended antenatal clinics, they were not vaccinated against tetanus. Both patients were successfully managed and discharged from the hospital. These cases call forpractitioners to be mindful of sporadic cases of NT that may present to our facilities.
