title: Increased concentration of aluminium in the brain of a parenterally fed preterm infant.
abstract: Parenteral feeding solutions currently used for preterm infants are contaminated with aluminium. We report the case of an infant who was fed parenterally for 45 days, who died aged 3 months, and who had a considerably increased concentration of aluminium in his brain tissue at necropsy.
