Pancreatic ascites in the first year of life
A case of pancreatic ascites in a 4-month-old baby girl is reported. To the best of our knowledge only 4 previous cases occurring in the first year of life have been reported in the pediatric literature. In patients with unexplained ascites, amylase determination should be performed on ascitic fluid and serum. The baby was first treated by external drainage and later by internal drainage of the pseudocyst which had formed along the fistula

T cell immune function in newborn infants
T cell immune function in 20 newborn infants was investigated. Previous studies showing increased spontaneous transformation and higher 3H-thymidine incorporation at lower PHA concentration in newborn infants were confirmed. A net increase in the number of active E rosette-forming lymphocytes and a slight decrease in the percentage of total E rosette-forming cells was also found. Our results suggest the presence of a subpopulation of activated T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of newborns during the first days of life. Possible mechanisms of this activation are discussed
