Withdrawal symptoms in infants with the fetal alcohol syndrome.

Six infants with dysmorphic features of the fetal alcohol syndrome presented with symptoms of withdrawal from alcohol similar to those observed in adults and animals. Symptoms were characterized by irritability, tremors, spontaneous seizures, opisthotonos, and abdominal distention. A comparison of symptoms is made to animal and withdrawal from ethanol and to the neonatal narcotic withdrawal syndrome.

Gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum. Relationship of maternal factors and delivery room practices to effective control measures.

Gonococcal opthalmia (proved by cultures) occurred in 11 infants delivered at the Jewish Hospital and Medical Center of Brookly (JHMCB) during a three and one-half-year period. Two more infant had conjunctivitis with presumptive evidence of gonococci (Gram stain of eye discharge). Silver nitrate was instilled in the eyes of the neonates by registered nurses. Maternal histories of these infants showed lack of prenatal care in ten, history of gonorrhea in pregnancy in three, and positive serology (STS) in two; ten of the mothers were unmarried. The over-all incidence of gonorrhea at the JHMCB prenatal clinic screening program is very low (0.02 per cent). Prevention of neonatal gonorrheal ophthalmia depends on: vigorous screening of mothers at delivery as well as during prenatal visits, careful attention to instillation of silver nitrate in the neonates' eyes, development of serologic tests for gonorrhea, and improved bacteriologic methods for culturing the organism.

The fetal alcohol syndrome: some maternal characteristics.

The characteristics of eight mothers of ten infants born with typical features of the fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) are presented. These chronic alcoholic mothers have poor obstetric histories, tend to have poor or no prenatal care and may repeat pregnancies which result in infants with FAS. Family planning counseling appears unhelpful.
