In this review, hospital case records of 202 adult tetanus managed between January 1990 and December 2001 in a tertiary institution in Southwestern Nigeria were reviewed. The mean age of the patients was 36.1±17.8 years with male:female ratio of 2.2:1 and an overall mortality rate of 64%. Patients with unfavourable outcomes spent 4.5±0.41 days compared with 16.6±1.2 days by those who survived. Factors associated with poor prognosis are age >60 years ( P=0.029), incubation period <7 days ( P=0.007), period of onset <48 h ( P=0.0001), tachycardia with pulse rate >120/min ( P=0.001) and spasm ( P=0.002). Gender ( P=0.11), post-injury vaccination ( P=0.48) and types of antibiotics administered ( P=0.49) were not significantly associated with increased mortality. The three most common complications were aspiration pneumonitis, sepsis and urinary bladder obstruction while complications with highest mortality (100%) were sepsis and cardiac arrest.
