INTERRELATION OF THYMUS HYPERTROPHY - SEVERE PNEUMONIA IN A NEWBORN FROM THE TWIN PREGNANCY
INTERRELATION OF THYMUS HYPERTROPHY - SEVERE PNEUMONIA IN A NEWBORN FROM THE TWIN PREGNANCY

Summary/Abstract: THYMUS HYPERTROPHY IS AN ANATOMICAL-PHYSIOLOGICAL ENTITY THAT IS SPECIFIC TO THE NEWBORN AGE. TWINNING PREDISPOSES TO "RISKS"; PREMATURE BIRTH; LOW WEIGHT; INCREASED (SECONDARY) SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INFECTIONS. WE HAVE CONDUCTED A STUDY OF TWO PAIRS OF UNIVITELINE TWINS THAT SHOW A POSSIBLE LINK BETWEEN THYMIC HYPERTROPHY AND THE SEVERE POTENTIAL EVOLUTION OF A NEWBORN PNEUMONIA; THE EXPLANATION BEING GIVEN BY ANATOMICAL FEATURES; MECHANICAL; INFECTIOUS FACTORS; AND POOR IMMUNE CAPITAL.
