Abstract
Expression of CD45 isoforms was used to estimate when group B streptoc occi had infected a child born with low Apgar scores who subsequently died. The measure suggested that infection was present more than 24 ho urs before delivery, thus distinguishing perinatal infection as the pr imary event which preceded intrapartum asphyxia in this case.
