[Development of children with a history of perinatal encephalopathy].

The rate of perinatal encephalopathy and the nature of its outcomes in relation to the syndrome of the acute period of the disease were studied in 102 children. Also examined were the cytochemical parameters of blood leukocytes, alkaline phosphatase of neutrophils, acid phosphatase of lymphocytes, succinate and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase of lymphocytes in prematurely born infants on the 8th-15th and the 30th-45th days of life. It has been ascertained that in addition to the comatose and convulsive syndromes the prognosis of the disease is the least favourable in the syndrome of total inhibition of the CNS in the acute period. Furthermore, the findings of the conducted study open the possibility of preliminary individual prognosis of the disease on the basis of the cytochemical picture at the end of the acute period.
