Abstract
We conducted a retrospective study of neonatal leukocytosis induced by pros taglandin E-1. Among 45 neonates with congenital heart disease, leukocyte c ounts increased during PGE(1) infusion. We conclude that PGE(1) infusion is a predictable cause of leukocytosis in newborns with congenital heart dise ase.
