[Immunological imbalance in the newborn infant and its correction in a system to prevent neonatal morbidity and infant mortality]. / Immunologicheskii disbalans novorozhdennogo i ego korrektsiia v sisteme preduprezhdeniia neonatal'noi zabolevaemosti i mladencheskoi smertnosti.

Immunological changes were examined in neonates having a different clinical status and varying effects of immunomodulation. The paper shows it expedient to use intravenous immunoglobulin as part of a package of measures to nurse premature neonates. A method for evaluating the responsiveness of immunocytes in the newborn has been developed, which is based on the determination of the equilibrium between activation-induced T-cell proliferation and apoptosis.
