Evidence is presented that high neurological levels, the presence of severe hydrocephalus, especially if present at birth, meningitis and ventriculitis, and gross renal disease are very adverse factors both in mortality and in quality of life.

A longitudinal study of 1,959 infants born in the first week of March 1958 to mothers who were reported to have had influenza during pregnancy revealed an incidence of cancer of 4·1 per 1,000 among children whose mothers had influenza, which was caused by cases of leukaemia and other neoplasms of lymphatic and haematopoietic tissue.

To test the hypothesis that leukaemia may follow virus infection in pregnancy an analysis was made of deaths which occurred in a cohort of children born in 1951 and 1952 after pregnancies in which the mothers suffered virus infections—chickenpox or mumps at any stage of gestation or rubella in the first 18 weeks.
