The Case History of an Infant Born to an Amphetamine- Addicted Mother

Abstract

An infant born to an amphetamine-addicted mother had episodes of diaphoresis and agita tion alternating with episodes of lassitude, vom iting, miotic pupils, and glassy-eyed stare in the neonatal period. Development was somewhat slow for the first three months of life but thereafter proceeded normally. At two and a half years of age, she shows no neurologic or psychologic residues.
