CLINICAL ANALYSIS OF 150 CASES OF SCLEREMA NEONATORUM / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

This paper analyses 150 cases of sclerema neonatorum admitted during the period 1956 to 1980. The results showed that the prognosis of sclerema neonatorum related to the sclerotic degree and infection, and that the mortality was higher in severe cases and cases with infection. The therapeutic effect of combined modality therapy was more significant. Pulmonary haemorrhage was the important cause of death and its clinical manifestations in the early stage were similar to those of acute left heart failure.
