The best way to provide immunologic protection against tetanus neonatorum (of the newborn) is to
A) inject the infant with human tetanus antitoxin.
B) inject the newborn with tetanus toxoid.
C) inject the mother with toxoid within 72 hours of the birth of her child.
D) immunize the mother with tetanus toxoid before or early in pregnancy.
E) give the child antitoxin and toxoid for both passive and active immunization.

The simplest and most effective way to protect the newborn infant against exotoxic disease, such as tetanus and diphtheria, is to induce antibody in the mother. The antitoxic IgG passing through the placenta will provide the necessary protection. While tetanus antitoxin could be used to provide short-term passive protection, it would be more costly and require an otherwise unnecessary and painful injection. Injection of toxoid in the mother within 72 hours of delivery of the child would not allow time for induction of antibody. While antitoxin and toxoid could provide immediate passive and future active protection, the latter would have to be accompanied by future injections of toxoid and the former is expensive; both would require undesirable injections.
