Abstract
The relationship between the blood sugar level and eosinophil count was studied in a group of new born infants in an attempt to demonstrate a possible link between neonatal hypoglycemia and anatomical and functional changes in the adrenal at this age. A pattern of inverse movement of the means of these two features could not be shown. The direct measurement of the sugar-fat N hormone production might show a relationship between a period of adrenocortical hypofunction and hypoglycemia.Keywords
