[Early differential diagnosis of congenital and birth injuries of the brain].

The presented paper is a comparative study of clinico-immunological data with neuro-roentgen contrast methods (pneumoencephalography) in 156 newborns. The obtained data with a highly significant result permit to claim that the neuroimmune reactions up to the 7th day of life and even later, may reflect pathological changes of the brain in the newborn. Quite possibly they may be actively involved in the pathological process not only in the prenatal, but also in some cases in the postnatal ontogenesis.
