[Rosette-forming lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of normal children]. / Linfocitos formadores de rosetas en sangre periférica de niños normales.

The study included 180 healthy children distributted into age groups from newborns to 16 years of age. The subpopulations of early E and EAC (T and B) rosette forming lymphocytes were determined. It was found that the main difference is placed in percentual mean values of the newborn where the value of T lymphocytes is less than for the rest of the ages studied, remaining stable beginning at the age of one year. In newborns, the values of B lymphocytes are greater; later, they drop but remain stable also since the age of one.

[Anatomo-radiological correlation of shock lung in pediatrics]. / Correlación anatomorradiológica del pulmón de choque en pediatría.

We reviewed three post-mortem studies of pediatric patients who died with the diagnosis of shock lung. We try to correlate the thorax X Ray studies obtained during clinical shock, with the anatomopathological findings. We established the basis for the anatomopathological and radiological diagnosis, and its comparation with the adult studies. No correlation could be establish with this a prospective study to try recognize this entity during life with serial X Ray studies, like was performed in adults.
