Abstract
Maturing of the immune system is related to the duration of the gestation period. It is essential that immunological processes be closely looked on in extremely low-birth-weight neonates: very high levels of immunoglobulins and components in extremely premature infected newborn babies are an example of the importance of the above recommendation.
