ADRENOCORTICAL FUNCTION IN THE NEWBORN INFANT AS MEASURED BY ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE-EOSINOPHIL RESPONSE

[摘要] ACTH was given to newborn infants and the changes in circulating eosinophils were measured. There was much less response in infants in the first week of life than there was in infants over 1 week of age. Nine out of 11 infants given lipoadrenal extract in the first 2 days of life showed adequate eosinophil falls.
