Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The chest and abdominal radiographs of 11 infants with neonatal tetanus were reviewed. There was no case of vertebral body fracture, although the intervertebral spaces were narrowed in 2 cases and different spinal curvatures were observed. Gasless abdomen and air esophagogram were seen in 4 and 5 patients, respectively. These are thought to be due to the effect of phenobarbitone and diazepam sedation. Almost all infants had pulmonary infiltrates which are presumed to be due to aspiration of abdominal contents. |
