Abstract
SummarySmall sublethal doses of tetanus toxin produce a typical secondary anemia—low red cell count, reduced hemoglobin index, increased sedimentation rate. Injection of antitoxin produced a prompt return to normal, the red cell count rose rapidly as a result of large numbers of reticulocytes pouring into the system.The severe anemia following the administration of toxin and the prompt recovery following that of antitoxin may serve as a simple early diagnostic test of possible tetanus intoxication in wounded.
