CP linked to chronic infection

Cerebral palsy (CP) in full-term babies could be due to chronic infections or reactivated conditions rather than acute infections just before or after birth, according to researchers in Maryland, Washington, D.C., and California.

Researchers examined 53 analytes in dried neonatal blood from 31 children with spastic CP and 65 control children. The heel-stick specimens had been drawn from subjects during the first few days of life to screen for metabolic disorders and were preserved by the Genetic Disease Branch of the California Department of Health Services.
