Strange Cause of Death
I'm hoping someone will know what this means: T. A. T. right thigh.
The person was a 10 month old child in India in 1942. Googling TAT brings up anything tattoo related or something to do with an ingredient in a diphtheria vaccine. Any ideas?

Is it definitely T. A. T.? Could either or both T be a different letter?

It certainly has T. A. T. with the last T having small down strokes at each end of the cross bar.
There is someone on the page who was noted to have died of thrombosis which was written rather than the block capitals. Not that this helps decipher the shorthand!

Might be some kind of thrombosis? There is this TAT, but I don't think it would have been a cause of death, even if it was known in 1942:

It would be most unlikely in a child of 10 months old even now that we know about it. It is interesting that what ever it was, it was on the right thigh - very specific.

There is a tree on Ancestry with him. Have you tried the owner?

No.
I only discovered him the other day. I haven't thought to look at ancestry. However I've not had much lucky with this branch of the family responding in the past.

T.A.T. is an abbreviation for toxin-antitoxin.
I found that on this list of medical abbreviations: https://www.tabers.com/tabersonline/..._Abbreviations I then Googled "T.A.T right thigh" and from the results have deduced that it was some form of injection that caused a reaction in the child. Interesting but complicated (for a lay person) medical sites. I just read between the lines and get the gist of what it says. Hope this helps a bit. Pat |
