[Vitamin E in pediatrics (author's transl)].
The biochemical mechanism of vitamin E cannot be explained up to the moment. Empirically, there are several possibilities for the clinical use of vitamin E, especially in pediatrics. This review is focusing on the hemolytic anemia of the preterm infant, hereditary bullous epidermolysis, retrolental fibroplasia and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Excess vitamin E must be considered as potentially toxic.
