The Many

We read the paper by Helbock et al1 with great interest. Their finding of glucocorticoid responsive hypotension in extremely low birth weight newborn infants is consistent with the syndrome we2 and others3 have reported in published abstracts not referenced by Helbock et al.1 It is very important that the possibility of a relative adrenocortical hypofunction occurring in a subset of 23- to 26-week premature infants be recognized. The incidence will depend on the many factors influencing organogenesis and hormone receptor number and activity in this early gestational period.
