Reported is the case of identical twin girls whose neonatal anemia (fatal in one case) was found to be due to Kell (a minor blood group) incompatibility. (DB)

Reported was an increase of pneumoccal disease associated with meningitis or septicemia in 14 neonates at one hospital. (DB)

Decreased longitudinal growth was observed in 24 hyperkinetic children (mean age 8 years) receiving pemoline therapy. Journal availability: see EC 114 425. (Author/CL)

Evaluated were antibody responses to a potent protein antigen biophage ox 174 in 17 institutionalized Down Syndrome adolescents and six mentally retarded control Ss with normal karotype. (CL)

Evaluated was the use of an oral elemental diet consisting of crystalline amino acids, glucose, electrolytes, and vitamins to control severe intractable diarrhea in 27 infants (1-day to 9-months of age). (DB)

Measured were the free erthrocyte protoporphyrin levels (a blood component) in 29 Ss with alpha thalassemia (a hereditary anemis), 19 Ss with iron deficiency anemia, and 24 normal control Ss. (DB)

Urinanalysis was performed on 24-hour samples of 11 iron deficient children (1 to 13 years of age) to determine levels of monoamine oxidase (an enzyme). (DB)

Examined were 55 children with adenosine deaminase enzyme deficiency and combined immunodeficiency disease, characterized by severe infections in early life. (CL)

Serum of five children ages 1 to 19 months with congenital pure red cell aplasia (incomplete or defective development of red blood cells) was injected in normal mice to determine possible inhibition of red blood cell formulating stimulants. (CL)
