AB Term  newborns  are  susceptible  to  various  illnesses  and  injuries.  In  many  instances,  clinical  manifestations  of  these  disorders  are  extensions  of  pathological  effects  already  incurred  by  the  fetus.  A  common  example  is  the  newborn  who  is  depressed  and  acidotic  because  of  intrapartum  septicemia.  Susceptibility  varies  depending  upon  gestational  age,  and  those  more  common  in  term  newborns  are  considered  here.  Those  more  frequent  in  preterm  neonates  are  discussed  in  Chapter  34.  Specific  disorders  that  are  the  direct  consequence  of  maternal  diseases  are  discussed  in  pertinent  chapters.
