Abstract
This report of a premature infant with hypermagnesemia indicates that magnesium sulphate therapy for pre-eclampsia may have profound effects on the fetus. In this infant the toxic effects of motor and respiratory paralysis were immediately reversed when the serum magnesium level was lowered during an exchange transfusion.Keywords
