The incidence of sepsis, mortality due to sepsis, total mortality, and minor infections was evaluated in a group of 46 premature newborn infants who were treated with intravenous immunoglobulins. They were compared with an untreated control group. No significant differences were observed between the two groups.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
