ABSTRACT
Serum IgG at birth was estimated in 31 preterm and 33 full term newborns, grouped according to their weight-for-gestational age. Preterm small-for-gestational age neonates were found to have significantly reduced IgG levels as compared to preterm appropriate-for-gestational age and full term small-for-gestational age newborns. It is suggested that preterms with intra-uterine growth retardation are most suitable for exogenous IgG supplementation to reduce neonatal and postneonatal susceptibility to infections.
