[Attempt to improve the pronostic score of tetanus (author's transl)].
A prognostic score based on 6 criteria has been proposed at the 4th International Conference on Tetanus (Dakar, April 1975). A computer study of 598 cases indicates that this score may be further improved by taking into account with more accuracy the frequency of peaks of paroxism and the special severity of the intra-gluteal infection.
