Abstract
Three of 4 children in a family died from infection before the age of 1 yr. All 3 had delayed separation of the umbilical cord in the 3rd wk. One child had defects in specific antibody production and in neutrophil function; these were not improved by treatment with ascorbic acid or levamisole.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
