Abstract
A case report of an infant who died with sclerema neonatorum is presented. A detailed biochemical study revealed an unusually high ratio of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids (56.8:43.2) in the subcutaneous triglycerides of the sclerematous infant. Oleic (C18.1) acid was present in normal amounts. Several alternative hypotheses for explaining the sclerematous process are discussed.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
