title: [Immunologic condition of the newborn (author's transl)].
abstract: Partial immaturity of the immunocompetent system is accounted for by the increased susceptibility to infections seen in human newborns. This immunodeficiency that includes specific and non-specific branches of immunity, affects both humoral and cellular components. Authors present a revision of the present knowledge, including their experience in this field.
