That premature infants commonly exhibit defective fat absorption has been known for many years (Rubner and Langstein, 1915; Muhl, 1923; Tidwell, Holt, Farrow and Neale, 1935). This steatorrhoea is, however, masked and the excess of unabsorbed fat does not separate out in the gross or in microscopically detectable globules. Efforts to compensate for the caloric deficit caused by this unabsorbed ...

متن کاملMegaloblastic Anaemia in Premature Infants.
The common anaemia in premature infants is iron deficiency anaemia, but megaloblastic anaemia can also occur and here we report three such cases. Our interest in megaloblastic anaemia was stimulated by a recent case in which megaloblastic anaemia developed when a low phenylalanine diet was being given for treatment of phenylketonuria (Royston and Parry, 1962). In the discussion of this paper Ro...
متن کاملPrebiotic oligosaccharides in premature infants.
