Plasma 17-hydroxyprogesterone concentrations were determined in 47 preterm and term infants who were ill from a variety of causes. The results were compared with those in 53 healthy term infants. Mean plasma 17-hydroxyprogesterone values were appreciably higher in ill term and healthy preterm infants compared with healthy term infants, but the highest values were found in ill preterm infants. None of the infants had adrenal disease but some very ill infants had plasma 17-hydroxyprogesterone values approaching those seen in untreated infants with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Interpretation of the results of plasma steroid measurements in newborn infants must take account of gestational age and the presence of stress related illness.
对47名因各种病因患病的早产和足月婴儿测定了血浆17-羟孕酮浓度。将结果与53名健康足月婴儿的结果进行了比较。与健康足月婴儿相比,患病足月婴儿和健康早产婴儿的平均血浆17-羟孕酮值明显更高,但最高值出现在患病早产婴儿中。所有婴儿均无肾上腺疾病,但一些重病婴儿的血浆17-羟孕酮值接近未经治疗的先天性肾上腺皮质增生婴儿的值。对新生儿血浆类固醇测量结果的解释必须考虑胎龄和应激相关疾病的存在。
