[Tetanus and pregnancy. Labor with assisted respiration]

The authors report a rare case in which tetanus occurred with a pregnancy near term. In this particular case of pregnancy with risk for the fetus and mother associated with one another, curative treatment with monitoring of the state of the fetus and assisted respiration for the mother resulted in the birth of a live child who could be brought up normally and a cure for the mother without having to resort to caesarean section.
