%X federico puga borne presented the first two cases of known chilean tetanus neonatorum in 1891. these cases had a fatal course, were poorly described and had no necropsy. the presentation was done in a regular session of the soci¨¦te scientifique du chili, founded in 1891 by a french citizen settled in the country, and published in the actes de la soci¨¦te scientifique du chili. at this time, tetanus had never been seen in a newborn in chile, while it was very common in other south american countries; its popular name was alferec¨ªa, but this term covered many other neurological disorders.
