title: [Study of orosomucoid in the newborn. Value in the diagnosis of bacterial infections].
abstract: The seromucoid concentration was estimated in 131 newborn infants who were divided into four groups (controls, dysmature-postmature, infected, miscellaneous). Elevation of seromucoids suggested neonatal bacterial infection. The non-specific nature of the elevation is compensated for by the ease and the speed of obtaining a result.
