Possible effect of maternal promethazine therapy on neonatal immunologic functions.
The effect of the administration of promethazine in the treatment of erythroblastosis fetalis was studied in four maternal-fetal pairs. The three infants exposed for a prolonged period of time had decreased neonatal number and function of T cells, and abnormal specific humoral immune responses. The possible role of promethazine in the induction of fetal immunoincompetence is discussed.

Tolerance of initial diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis immunization in preterm infants.
With the use of neurologic examinations, cranial sonograms, electroencephalograms, an cry analyses, we assessed neurologic function before and after an initial diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis immunization in 22 very low birth weight infants. Mean birth weight was 1036 +/- 137 gm; mean gestational age was 28.0 +/- 1.3 weeks. All 22 infants had recovered from respiratory distress syndrome, 10 infants had been treated for invasive bacterial or fungal infection, and 9 infants had had previous intraventricular hemorrhages. Initial immunization was administered at a mean age of 71 +/- 15 days (range 57 to 120 days) and a mean weight of 1895 +/- 245 gm (1370 to 2280 gm). Clinical reactions were mild and transient. No postimmunization changes in neurologic examinations or objective studies were noted compared with results of preimmunization studies. These findings support the safety of administering an initial diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis immunization to very low birth weight infants at the recommended age of 8 weeks.
