Abstract: Oral administration of active vitamin D metabolites to low birthweight infants 797 pound cholecalciferol or ergocalciferol, in that they may not require in vivo hydroxylation within the liver and kidney for activation. This may be important in the preterm infant where a maturational delay in the renal enzyme la hydroxylase pathway 6 Brooke OG, Lucas A. Metabolic bone disease in preterm infants.

“…The frequency of chlamydial ophthalmia of 6.0% among the total cases of conjunctivitis is lower than in other studies, based upon referral to an eye department (Armstrong et al 1976;Barry et al 1986;Harding et al 1987). C. trachomatis was a frequent agent in the most severe cases of conjunctivitis in this study as in others (Rowe et al 1979;Sandstrom 1987).…”

“…In some studies, infants delivered by caesarean section are excluded. This seems not warranted as the infants may be affected either by ascending infection in cases with rupture of the membranes, or by infection via intact membranes or by indirect con-tact after birth (Barry et al 1986;Preece et al 1989).0ur data revealed no correlation, neither between the duration of birth nor mechanical intervention, and the occurrence of ophthalmia neonatorum, confirming the results of Prentice et al (1977).…”

“…Although C. trachomatis may be implicated in 1/3 of infants with pneumonia, 22 we found no increase in risk for pneumonia between the infants born to infected and noninfected mothers. Although C. trachomatis conjunctivitis has been found as often as 51% of the time in young infants with conjunctivitis, 23 we found no increase in risk for conjunctivitis between infants born to infected and noninfected mothers.…”
