Summary

Tetanus cases remain low in Poland, with 11 reported in 2017. Most infections are linked to missed booster vaccinations, highlighting the importance of immunization for preventing tetanus.

Area of Science:

Epidemiology
Infectious Diseases
Public Health

Background:

Tetanus remains a concern globally, with ongoing efforts to eliminate neonatal tetanus.
Poland has maintained a low incidence of tetanus over the past decade.
Neonatal tetanus has not been reported in Poland since 1984.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze tetanus epidemiological surveillance data from Poland in 2017.
To examine the historical trends of tetanus incidence in Poland.
To assess the impact of vaccination on tetanus prevention and global elimination efforts.

Main Methods:

Analysis of individual tetanus case reports submitted to the Department of Epidemiology, NIZP-PZH.
Review of the bulletin “Infectious diseases and poisoning in Poland in 2017.

Keywords:

tetanus epidemiological surveillance Poland 2017

Compilation of historical tetanus data from previous Polish and international studies.

Main Results:

Eleven cases of tetanus were reported in Poland in 2017.
The cases included four males and seven females.
One fatality occurred in an individual over 69 years of age.

Conclusions:

Few tetanus cases in Poland are attributed to non-adherence to booster vaccination schedules.
Continued vigilance in vaccination practices is crucial for tetanus control.
The low incidence underscores the effectiveness of public health interventions against tetanus.
