Abstrakt: In 100 low-birth-weight newborns divided into a group of prematures with adequate birth weight and a group of antenatal hypotrophics, the immunoglobulins in cord serum and in serum at 5 days were determined. The results are expressed in International Units/ml. A significant increase of IgM as compared with cord blood after 5 days of life was found in both groups. In prenatal hypotrophics insignificantly higher levels of IgM were detected both in cord and in 5-day blood. It could be supposed that the dystrophisation of some small-for-date newborns could result from intrauterine infection.
