Abstract
Serum gamma-M globulin levels were determined during the first month of life on 206 hospitalized infants who were at potential risk for infection based on maternal and/or infant criteria. Infections were not detected in 175 of these newborns and levels obtained from these served as control values. In 31 of the newborns infections, both localized and systemic, caused by a variety of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, as well as viruses, were documented. The maximum values obtained from this group were increased above the control mean values in all but 2 infants and were above the second standard deviation in all but 4 neonates.
