    Author: Omeñaca F, Quero J, Polo P, Michaux L, Martínez A, Ruíz A.
    Journal: An Esp Pediatr; 1979; 12(8-9):607-16. PubMed ID: 386862.
    Abstract:
    Seventy one per cent of neonates had a gestational age longer than 37 weeks. Sixteen showed respiratory distress, and shock occured in twelve cases. The onset of illness happened within the first 12 hours of life, in 15 cases. No differences were observed among preterm and term infants. Differential leukocyte count were altered in all infants, being particularly relevant the fact that the relation between immature neutrophil/total neutrophil, was elevated in 50 per cent of cases. Mortality rate was 52 per cent. Clinical alert and early treatment with penicillin, together with the use of fresh blood exchange transfusion, can be considered useful methods in the treatment of these cases.
