多年来，波兰报告的破伤风病例数一直低于50例，且存在明显的随机波动。几乎所有病例都发生在未接种疫苗的人群中。其中一些病例，尤其是60岁以上人群中的病例，是致命的。
本研究的目的是呈现2014年波兰破伤风流行病学监测数据。
分析的材料是发送至国家公共卫生研究所-国家卫生研究院流行病学部的破伤风病例个体报告以及“2014年波兰传染病与中毒情况”公告数据。
201年波兰记录的破伤风病例数为13例。其中男性6例，女性7例。其中9例年龄超过59岁。其中4人死亡。死者均为69岁以上女性。
破伤风是一种在环境中感染的传染病，与伤口污染有关。接种疫苗可预防感染和死亡。60岁以后患病对生命和健康具有特别的风险。
