| Popis: | Gastric aspirates were examined for polymorphs in 117 infants, born after prolonged rupture of membranes of more than 12 hours duration. Of 42 infants with gastric aspirate polymorph count of more than 5 per high power field (HPF), 19 (45. 2 per cent) infants developed pneumonia and bronchopneumonia and 11 (26.2 per cent) developed septicemia. Of 75 infants with cell count of less than 5 per HPF, two infants developed pneumonia (2.5 per cent) and one developed septicemia (1.3 per cent). A polymorph count of over 65 per cent was associated with pneumonia or bronchopneumonia in all cases and a count of 30–65 per cent was associated with 20% possibility of infection. |
