title: [The value of fibrinogen concentrations in neonatal bacterial infections of maternal origin (author's transl)].
abstract: The changes of fibrinogen levels in the neonatal period have been systematically studied in the neonatal intensive care unit at Port-Royal Hospital. A prospective study has been performed in 29 children with bacterial infections which were definitely of maternal origin. High fibrinogen levels persist as long as the infection remains active. Return of fibrinogen levels to normal could be considered as a criterion, if not of cure, at least of the efficacy of treatment.
