title: [Drug withdrawal syndrome in the neonate].
abstract: The relationship between maternal abuse of methadone and neonatal signs of withdrawal has been studied. The main symptoms are frequent vomiting or diarrhea, hyperpyrexia, moderate or severe irritability and tremors, inability to sleep between feedings, and clinically apparent convulsions. Physicians caring for such high-risk infants should recognize the potential seriousness of this problem.
