Description
Summary:A short compendium for students and physicians interested in the treatment of disease of the newborn period coming from behind the "Iron Curtain." The book shows an extensive knowledge of the "Free-World" medical literature on such subjects as erythroblastosis fetalis, cytomegalic inclusion disease, toxoplasmosis and other diseases of recent interest. A chapter on infant mortality is extensive and shows a similar decline of the death rate over the last decades as in the United States. The over-all mortality during the first year of life per 1,000 live-born in 1954 shows 49.6 deaths/1,000 in East Germany and 42.2 deaths/ 1,000 in West Germany. Infant mortality in the United States amounted to 26.4 deaths/1,000 in 1955.
